Self Worth

What is the journey to self worth? I let my brokenness define me, but now I realize it is not who I ultimately am. It is only part of me. Brokenness has its role, to expose the sides of me I as a human can easily ignore. I am loved and wonderfully made for his good works. I can stand bold before him knowing who I am, in for better and worse. Even though I can be weak, it is part of my story and at the end of it all it makes up my beautiful story. All things God works for good for those who love him. If I live in shame and hide my light, my worth, the person God created me to be, then that is where I can rot. As stagnant water contaminates when still, so is my soul as well, it is a well that must keep retrieving from running water.
