God Treasures Me

I ran across the following passage in a little devotional book I own entitled "When I'm Praising God" by Anita Corrine Donihue. Since my daughters and I have been chatting about healthy self-esteem in recent months, I found it to be a true treasure! Enjoy!
"Father, I praise You for treasuring me. Thank You for being my dearest Friend and reminding me:
  • when I felt worthless, You developed my abilities
  • when I felt I lacked beauty, You reminded me of the inner beauty You gave me.
  • when I was unworthy, You showed me Your love and instilled worth in me.
  • when I wept over my sins, You forgave me.
  • when I tried and failed, You bridged the gap.
  • when I felt I had nothing to offer, You saw potential in me.
  • when others didn't seem to care, You adopted me as Your child, and You treasured me as Your own."
