“But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ -- the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.” (Philippians 3:7-9 NIV)
Our value does not depend on our ability to earn people's acceptance. People change their minds. Instead, true self-worth is God's love and acceptance, which are unchanging. He created us. He alone knows how to fulfill all of our needs.
-- Robert McGee in "Search for Significance"
