Respected, valued and loved - Our value with God

Respected, valued and loved

 

I could not believe for a long time

that I am and have been

respected, valued and loved

all along.

 

I did not know

God’s being and his promises

for his beloved children.

 

I oriented myself

according to the values

the world had to offer to me

and always felt inferior,

not sufficient, and detested.

I constantly wanted to be valued

but I always looked in the wrong places

and was frequently,

utterly disappointed.

 

Only after I started to examine

God’s word closer

and apply it to me

did my attitude about myself

change slowly but surely.

 

His promises are meant for me too.

The love that he has for me

is inexhaustible

and in his eyes

I am forever valuable.

 

Only after I ordered

my relationship with him

did I begin to feel a bit

of this godly love for me.

 

Today I am happy

to have found this spring of love.

Whenever I look at myself

as insufficient

I can counter my lies

with God’s love and his words.

By doing that

I can correct my own self-worth

very quickly again.

 

That I am respected, valued and loved

is wonderful and gives me

an endless amount of strength and joy.

Talmud, Berakhot 54b

Awareness of God’s presence is foundational to ethical living and emotional resilience; without it, the heart may feel unanchored.

The second problem - PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder)

The second problem I have a problem, or so I thought for a long time. Something bothered me immensely. Whether it was: suffering, illness,  injustice, bullying, abuse, loss, or anything else that threw me off track, what's certain is that the pain of it was etched into my mind. I got incredibly upset about it, simmered with anger and resentment, shrouded myself in self-pity and depression, occupied myself with all sorts of distractions, and did all sorts of things to try and get rid of the pain. Soon I realized that the thought about my problem had become lodged inside me, like a bird that has built a nest  in my tree. I'm starting to brood over the negative feelings. Day and night, they give me no peace. I'm getting so worked up about this terrible situation that I'm constantly preoccupied with all sorts of possible and even impossible scenarios. Soon, I'm experiencing increasing difficulty concentrating. Coping with everyday tasks becomes more and m...

Information about the posts in March 2026

All posts posted in March 2026 have a specific order to them. I have placed them in 3 different categories: 1. The Problems 2. The Considerations 3. The Solutions Posts, that will be posted after March 2026 do not have this order, but will be posted randomly only sorted by the time they were posted. It is my hope, that the reader realizes, that he/she is not the only one struggling with a certain problem. I have spent much effort going into the depth of each problem with the hope that the reader can identify with it. Over time I have come to realize that the way we react to problems in principle is timeless. We all get stuck with the same or similar reactions. At the beginning those reactions are rather unproductive or even destructive.  It is my goal to not only honestly write about different problems, but also give the reader, who is seeking solutions good thoughts to consider. I do wish for each reader to read the lyrics with an open mind and contemplate what is wr...

When the soul cries out - Emotional pain

When the soul cries out   When the soul cries out then the head is full with pain. When the soul cries out then it is obvious that you cannot concentrate. When the soul cries out then the everyday routines become difficult. When the soul cries out then any contacts with the outside world become more and more difficult. When the soul cries out then you become more impatient with yourself and others. When the soul cries out then you need a lot of love and comfort  in order to heal again.     (1606121555-1912,1706120737-0747)     Psalm 147:3 (The Israel Bible) He heals their broken hearts, and binds up their wounds.
