God elevates.  In God we know our worth.  In God’s eyes our worth never comes into question.  It is a given that we were created out of love for love and are at our best when we are in full knowledge of this reality.  Living fully means asserting this truth in everything we do. It is not about being prideful.  It is humbly asserting our place in this world and accepting the place of others.  I used to think that being assertive was aggressive.  I was so steeped in the misconception that self-deprecation was humility and had no idea there was a balance between pride and pride in reverse.  Assertiveness I learned through practice is knowing who you are and standing in the knowledge of it.  It is holding my head high knowing I am a child of God and so is everyone else.

My prayer for us is the courage to claim the assertive reality of who we are and walk in the light of love that created us.

If God celebrates who we are and wants us to rejoice in it, how can God encourage you to be assertive and claim the truth of who you are today?  Share in the comments.
