• “How very narrow is the gate that leads to a life in God! (Mt 7:14) How little one must be to pass through it, it being nothing else but death to self! But when we have passed through it, what enlargement do we find! David said, ‘He brought me forth also in a large place’ (Ps. 18:19). And it was through humiliation and abasement that he was brought there.” – from Madame Guyon’s autobiography Ch. 22

A Masterpiece by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 11/23/11

“I don’t know why, but when I was six someone said I shouldn’t have been born.”

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: A lot of women fall for the lie that says, “You’re not worth anything.” A lot of times that deception is fueled by the uncaring words of others.

“For a long time I thought of myself as just worthless.”

Nancy: Someone may have made an off-hand remark to you that made you feel worthless. When that happened, it was like a foolish person throwing away a beautiful painting because she didn’t recognize its value.

But imagine an art collector who comes along, finds the unwanted painting, and cherishes it as a masterpiece. That’s what God’s done for you.

Ephesians 1 says, “For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.” When He sent His Son to die for your sin, He gave you your value. You are precious to Him.

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy Leigh DeMoss.
