You Are Very Special | Joyce Meyer
You are very special! You’re unique! And you are very valuable! Let Momma Joyce tell you who your authentic self is in Christ!
People can’t put your fire out, disappointments can’t stop what God has ordained for you, bad breaks can’t keep you from your destiny. The more things that come against you, the more you need to stay stirred up. The more opposition, the more you need to give God praise. Keep that spring in your step, that passion in your spirit. Declare the favor of God is on your life.
Let me say again, you are very special. You’re unique. Your special and you are very valuable.
And I feel in my heart that some of you really, really need to hear that.
So I’m gonna say it again. You are unique. You’re very special and you’re very valuable.
Maybe no one has ever told you that.
Maybe there have even been people in your life that have made you feel the exact opposite.
I know I wondered what was wrong with me because I didn’t feel like I was like everyone else.
And so I thought I was weird but god taught me that I was actually unique.
I wanna talk to you today about learning to love who you are.
And to be at peace with yourself.
Some of the disciples asked Jesus to record it in Matthew twenty two.
Which of all the commandments is the most important.
And Jesus said the first and most important commandment is to love the lord your god, with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and all your strength.
And a second is like it. You shall love your neighbor as you love yourself. Now, think about that.
How do you love yourself?
You see, you may think that it would be wrong to love yourself.
I’m not saying to be in love with yourself.
I’m not saying to have yourself on your mind all the time and think that everybody should always be doing what you want them to do.
But I’m saying to love yourself, to love god’s creation.
And really, I believe that if we don’t love ourselves in a balance in a godly way, then we’re not receiving the love that god is giving us.
Roman’s five five tells us that the love of god is shed abroad, are poured into our heart by the Holy Spirit.
So one of the first things that you should sense and feel when you receive Christ as your savior is the love of god.
You know, that may sound very simple. It’s easy for us to tell other people.
Jesus loves you, but are you receiving his love for you?
Are you far you or are you against you?
No one is gonna love everything we do.
As a matter of fact, I don’t love everything that I do, but we should love the person that god created us to be.
We can learn to love ourselves because he loves us and because it’s god’s will for us to do so.
And until you come to terms of peace with yourself, uh, listen, I’m gonna say you are never going to enjoy your life.
Until you come to terms of peace with yourself, you’re never going to enjoy your life.
First Peter three ten and eleven says that in order to love life and have enjoyable days, good days that we have to keep our tongue from evil.
That’s interesting. So how we talk is very important.
And I might just throw out a question right here now. How do you talk about yourself?
I hear people say I’m so stupid. I can never do anything right.
I used to say things like that, but I’ve had to learn to talk about myself the way God talks about me.
Because when you say bad things about yourself, you’re see opening a door for the enemy for the devil to come and just wreak havoc in your life.
And first, Peter three eleven says, let him turn away from wickedness.
Now, this is if you wanna enjoy life, see good days.
The amplified Bible says, if you wanna see good days, whether a parent or not.
So that’s obviously saying that you can enjoy your life, even if you have trials and tribulations going
Turn away from wickedness and shun it and let him do right.
Let him search for peace. Keep the word search in mind.
If you happen to be taking notes, you might write down search.
Harmony, undisturbedness from fears, agitating passions, and moral conflicts and seek it eagerly.
Seek is another word to write down.
In other words, This peace is not just gonna fall on us from heaven.
It’s been given to us as a gift because Jesus said I leave you my peace and peace is one
of the fruit of the spirit, so it is in us.
But yet, we have to pursue it and seek it. You know why?
Because Satan is always always always trying to take it away from us. Don’t merely desire peaceful relationships.
With god with yourself and with others, three three relationships where we need to have peace.
Peace with god, peace with yourself, and peace
with others. And I personally think they have to come in that order.
First, you need to have peace with god.
And if you have peace with god, then you can have peace with yourself.
And if you have peace with yourself, then you can have peace with other people.
I’ll always say, and you’ve probably heard me say if you watch the program very often, that we cannot give away what we don’t have.
So if I don’t have peace with myself, how can I be at peace with you?
You must pursue and go after them. I love that.
Pursu, seek, chase after, eagerly desire.
We won’t have peace unless we seek it and seek it diligently.
It’s not that it’s not there, but we need to really want it.
And I found in my life that in order for me to have peace, I had to make some changes in my life.
One of the things I had to do was learn what the enemy was using to steal my peace.
I’ll just give you one example.
If I don’t leave enough time to get out of the house in the morning if I’m coming to the office or have an appointment somewhere without hurrying, then I’ll always end up losing my peace.
You need to save time for things that will happen that you didn’t plan on happening.
Because almost all the time something does. You can’t find something you’re looking for.
You get an get a phone call that you have to take and puts you a little bit behind.
And so if you really wanna have peace, you’re probably going to have to change some things in your life.
I discovered that if I wanted to have peace with other people, I had to be adaptable and adjustable, pliable, and moldable.
I couldn’t always have my way I had to be willing to let them have their way.
And I feel in my heart that some of you really, really need to hear that.
So I’m gonna say it again. You are unique. You’re very special and you’re very valuable.
Maybe no one has ever told you that.
Maybe there have even been people in your life that have made you feel the exact opposite.
