Always This or Better: How to Uplevel Your Value and Step Into Your MORESample

I can see how you value yourself through your actions. God spoke to me one morning during my meditation, and His words were so powerful that they caused me to pause.

The definition of value is "an estimate of worth, a person’s principles or standards of behavior; the opinion that something is held to deserve."

Despite my words about my value, God was telling me that my actions are what communicate my understanding of my value. How I interact with myself and others clearly communicates what I believe I am worth, what I believe I deserve, and what my standards are. My understanding of my value is demonstrated through my actions—not my words.

I felt like I valued myself, and if you asked me if I understood my value, I would’ve answered yes. But what God was challenging me to consider were the places within me where my value needed to increase so that He could establish new, higher, foundations of promise and purpose in my life.

God wanted me to adopt the mindset that life was always this or better, wherein the “this” was His idea of my value. My idea needed to align with His higher ideals and standards so that I could more easily receive better.

In reminding me of my value, God was prompting me to that He had MORE in store for me—especially me. Today, God is reminding you that there is MORE for you—especially you! You are His daughter, a joint heir with Christ, one whom He called to live this specific life experience in holiness, one whom He lovingly formed in your mother’s womb.

Consider a few areas where God desires to align your value more closely with His:

• Your speech. Do you talk about your life the way He does?
• Your rest. Is there an opportunity to more carefully consider requests of your time and decline more than you accept?
• Your relationships. Do you let others be, or do you take over when they aren’t doing things the way you would, tiring yourself in the process?
• Your heart. Have you allowed God time to heal your heart before giving it to someone new?

You are too special to settle for less than your value according to God. We’ll uncover why on Day 2.
