It can be very difficult to embrace the truth of Psalm 139:14 that we are fearfully and wonderfully made by God, but we are! YOU ARE! You are God's design, his handiwork, and he loves you so much just the way you are!
Unfortunately, society, some jobs, trauma, and especially childhood abuse can give you the mindset that you are just an object to be used by others. With this mindset comes the belief that you must contribute to have value, you must show your works in order to prove you have faith, you must be seen and valued by others to have worth, and so much more. It can permeate your existence. This mindset is completely exhausting! In this mindset, you are never truly enough, you could always do more, and you could always do better. The one next thing is never the last thing. The ladder of success is endless, and the belief is you must climb to the top in order to experience satisfaction of having worth.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
God made you! He designed you, and he loves you just the way you are. You do not have to earn your existence or your right to be loved. You deserve to set healthy boundaries. You can grow at the pace that is good and healthy for you! God made you that way, and he loves you just the way you are!
If you want to begin to change your mindset, check out the journals from Big Life Journal (biglifejournal.com/?aff=1633). While this is not faith-based, it does give you a lot to consider when it comes to assessing and changing your mindset.
You can also read Psalm 130, Hebrews 4, and Philippians 3:16 which all talk about God's design for us, the gift of rest he has given us, and the mercy and grace we can walk in when we don't expect more of ourselves than what we have already attained.
God is good, he is faithful, and he IS helping you GROW AND HEAL!
