I love your heart-full views and appreciate any encouragement for the valuing of ourselves and others as Christ loves us to.

Satan’s goal is to get us to forget that God made us the way we are for a reason. He gets us to focus on our weaknesses so that we can never get around using our strengths. For example, he knows that if we envy others, we will never get to love them with Christ’s love. Don’t wish to be like someone else. Know that God was very excited to unleash you on this earth right after He created you, just the way He created YOU!!! Focus on your strengths. Remember than when we are weak, we are still strong in Him, Jesus, our Savior. Let’s show Satan that God our Father is still in control and that all his schemes are futile.

Kerri,
This really speaks to where I am today.
I was really beating up on myself (devaluing myself). Because it seems as if I keep going around the same mountain in an area of my life, wondering how in the world did I get here again…thank you because this reminds me that, “His love is as strong as death and as jealous and enduring as the grave.” No matter what!!

Granny always said “God doesn’t make junk”! He made us in His Image.

Hope– so glad you enjoyed the messages! We had a bit of a glitch this week, but they should both be up by Friday at the latest. Next week we should be back on track for having them posted the same week!

Hi Pastor Kerri,
I have a few friends who are going through a lot of stuff right now, and have been beaten down so much that they can’t see their worth. I have been telling them that God does not want them to be so sad all the time, and they should lay their problems at His feet and continue to pray and trust God to answer. I love what you said about we are God’s Masterpiece, we are created unique. You just confirmed for me some things I have recently told my friends and myself. Thank you. I am personally thankful everyday that I am a unique, beautiful and loved child of the most high God. God bless you. I love you.

Karin– it’s a good thing our value doesn’t depend on what we do, but upon who we belong to. Praying for recovery, peace, and wisdom.

Kerri,

I’ve been home sick for over two months and the doctors at Mayo can’t seem to figure it out yet. I’ve been frustrated with them, discouraged, and wondering how in the world God is going to use me cooped up in this house, sick. Your message hit me like a bullet. Thank you!!

Kerri,

That is SUCH a good tie-in to scripture! Thanks for this story! I’m going to share this with Lainey.

Whenever I feel unlike a “masterpiece”, I’ll think of your paintings.
