Journey Day 301

Today I watched "Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader". Lucy, one of the main characters, was really insecure and she only wanted to be as beautiful as her sister Susan. She found this book, where she could see herself in a mirror, but the person she sees in the mirror isn't actually her... it's her sister. So she rips the page out of the book to bring along with her so that whenever she wants she can see this beautiful "version" of herself. One night Aslan comes to her in a dream and basically tells her that she is worth so much more than she can even imagine and that she can find her worth in his love for her. In this moment I was reminded of two things... C.S. Lewis never disappoints with his metaphors AND we are just like Lucy. We find our self worth in everything but God, and allow the world to define how we see ourselves. But God gently says, "Find your worth in me dear one, find your worth in me. My love is all that matters, so find your worth in me!" Even when are hard on ourselves, and we don't like the face we see in mirror... even when the world is down on us, and we feel discouraged, we can take heart and find our worth in the creator of the universe, who created us with a perfect plan and purpose! If you doubt that, go give Psalm 139 a read... it might just change your mind! : )
