“Whose Opinion Counts? 20 Bible Verses that Define Your Worth” By Dr. Michelle Bengtson:

“These 20 Bible Verses that define your worth will remind you of who you are in Christ and what God says about you. Use these scriptures to fight back against negative thinking and settle the issue of your worth and identity. No matter what anyone else says, you are accepted by the only One whose opinion counts.

[To download a Free Printable of 20 Scriptures that Define Your Worth, click here.]

I’ll never forget the day. My young son came home from school despondent, and lacking his normal carefree smile. When I scooped him up in a hug and attempted to lighten the mood with a tickle-fest, I was instead greeted with tears.

“Mom, some kids at school said I wasn’t smart enough to sit at the cool kids’ table.”

I thought my heart was going to shatter into a million pieces right there in front of this sweet boy who had a heart of gold and the most generous spirit to boot.

I could tell him it wasn’t true. I could tell him what I thought. More importantly, I would share with him what God said because that’s the only One whose opinion counts.

I spent many years listening to wrong opinions. Too many years, in fact, not really appreciating what God said about me. I lived too long believing that God was mad at me, and that He needed me to be perfect in order to love me.

What if we decided to no longer let the enemy destroy our identity and dealt with the issue of self-hatred? What if we stopped giving so much credit to the opinions of others, and cared only about the One whose opinion counts? What if instead of going down the road of comparing ourselves to others we stopped and said, “Father, I’m about to beat myself up, but before I do, why don’t you tell me what you think of me? How do you see me, Father?” Wouldn’t that change everything?

I grew up in the church. I accepted Christ as my Savior when I was seven years old, and I was in church every time the doors were open. In fact, my family often opened the doors!

I attended Sunday School every week, and won the white Bible for inviting the most people to church. I scored when it came to Scripture verse drills. And yet, if I’m being honest with you, something was missing: I didn’t really know what God said about me. That made me easy prey for the enemy of my soul to flood my mind and my heart with lies that stole my joy, killed my peace, and destroyed my identity.

Scripture says, “My people perish for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6).

What I didn’t know then was exactly what my son needed to know in order to settle the issue of his worth, and to realize that while others may reject us, he was accepted by the only One whose opinion counts. He needed to know, and maybe you do too, that God says:

You are beautiful. (Psalm 45:11)

You are lovely. (Daniel 12:3)

You are loved. (Jeremiah 31:3)

You are chosen. (John 15:16)

You are special. (Ephesians 2:10)

You are created in His image. (Genesis 1:27)

You are cared for. (Ephesians 3:17-19)

You are strong. (Psalm 68:35)

You are precious. (1 Corinthians 6:20)

You are protected. (Psalm 121:3)

You are unique. (Psalm 139:13)

You are important. (1 Peter 2:9)

You are forgiven. (Psalm 103:12)

You were created for a purpose. (Jeremiah 29:11)

You are empowered. (Philippians 4:13)

You are a new creation. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

You are accepted. (Ephesians 1:6)

You are the apple of His eye. (Zechariah 2:8)

You are family. (Ephesians 2:19)

You are His. (Isaiah 43:1)

He and I would have to have additional discussions for this to sink in, but it was a great place to start. The best place to start, in fact—knowing the truth that matters from the One whose opinion counts.

Knowing what the Father says about you changes everything. Do you know what God says about you? Which of these Scriptures do you need to embrace today?”

Reposted from @drmichellebengtson (@get_regrann) - Every time we listen to the enemy, we step outside the safety of God’s shelter, and no longer rest in His peace. Here’s what that sounds like: “You can’t possibly get everything done that needs to get done.” “You’re going to let people down.” “You’re in over your head.” “You will fail.” “There’s nothing you can do.” When I accept what God has promised as mine, it empowers me for battle. ~ Dr. Michelle Bengtson, Breaking Anxiety's Grip #BreakingAnxietysGrip #PeacePrevails #BreakingAnxietysGripBook #overcominganxiety #godlywisdom - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/B3sD7j5lhOTL9iyqCTw03p5x7QEyRDo5cGUh8I0/?igshid=1f45is1hekidr

“When God Gave Me More Than I Could Handle” By Dr Michelle Bengtson:

“People, Christians included, often say that God won’t give you any more than you can handle, but that’s just not true. We’ve gotten it all wrong. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that God won’t give us more than we can handle. It says he won’t let us be tempted beyond what we can bear, and that he will provide a way out of temptation so that we can handle it.

“No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it” (1 Corinthians 10:13).

But that’s talking about temptation, not enduring the trials and hardships of life. I would go so far as to say that God absolutely does give us more than we can handle! But He does so for a purpose. To those who so often say to me, “I don’t know how you handle everything you’ve been given,” I don’t. Repeatedly God has brought me to the place where I can’t handle it on my own. I can’t do it without Him.

Life is hard. Life is weighty. Life is overwhelming. We can’t do it alone, without Him. That’s why Jesus comforted us with the promise that,

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

Jesus doesn’t ask us to carry the load by ourselves. Jesus beckons us to find our refuge, our strength, our peace in Him when life is just more than we can handle on our own.

When you feel like giving up, giving in, and letting go, God is holding on to you. When we experience difficulties that are too great for us to handle, they remind us that we must depend on God.

“For I am the LORD your God, who upholds your right hand, Who says to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you’” (Isaiah 41:13).

“The LORD also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, A stronghold in times of trouble” (Psalm 9:9).

When you’re weak, God wants to be strong for you. He wants to be the rock that you lean on, the strong tower that you run to. The times that overwhelm us show us that God is our source of strength.

“The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him” (Psalm 28:7).

“But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; He is their strength in time of trouble” (Psalm 37:39-40).

The times that overwhelm us show us that God is our source of strength. When you feel weak, lost, and scared, not even sure where your next breath will come from, take God’s hand and know that He’s going to help you through it, one moment at a time. The times that are too difficult to handle on our own teach us to trust God even when we cannot see.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

“Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock” (Isaiah 26:4).

When all you can do is cry, God is a safe place to do that because He promises to dry your eyes. When we are faced with difficulties that are more than we can handle on our own, we have an opportunity to experience God as our refuge.

“God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble” (Psalm 46:1).

“As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him” (Psalm 18:30).

We will go through the hard times but never alone or without His helpful, guiding hand. So, does God give us more than we can handle on our own? Yes. But He makes us a promise that is worth holding onto:

“When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you” (Isaiah 43:2).

We will go through the hard times, the fiery times, the overwhelming times, but never alone, and never without His helpful, guiding hand.

The question is, will you trust Him with those heavy, overwhelming burdens that are more than you can handle?

Because of Him, #HopePrevails!”
