#018// Do you know where your worthiness really comes from?

Today I want to encourage you on a topic that I think a lot of us have dealt with at some point or another when we’ve tried to do something that means focusing some time on personal transformation. 

Over the past decade or so there've been a few guiding voices who’ve put out a sound that says, “Look, you’re worthy of self-care. You can’t take care of others if you don’t take care of yourself first. So take the time for yourself so you can be better for others.” And I think those sentiments are based in truth. I do believe you’ve got to have something to pour from. If you’re empty and leaking all the time, you’re going to be giving out of nothing. And that’s a recipe for bitterness and burnout. But here are two root issues I think go unaddressed:

#1 - We don't know where a true sense of worthiness really comes from and so we pull from a counterfeit source and wind up feeling unworthy as a result; and

#2 - Because we don't know true worthiness, we don't value and/or we don't know how to establish appropriate boundaries around our life so we can grow and strengthen and steward what God's given us to care for in our lives while appropriately relating to those around us.

In today's episode I'm sharing an excerpt from an audio series I created for one of my programs, The Beacon 21 Day Reset, where I share how to receive a true sense of worthiness and then how to establish appropriate boundaries so you can live successfully out of that worthiness while serving God and others. Sound like something you need? Then grab your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!
