You are Worth It

“I don’t think I’m ready”, whispered Isabel to Angelica.

Angelica smiled, “We never are”.

“No,” continued Isabel, “If I go like I am, he will turn away from me”.

Angelica smiled, but she was capable of such emotion, she would be really frustrated.

“He said he wanted you there. He showed you he wanted you there”, Angelica said.

Isabel looked at her. “I just sometimes feel like he doesn’t even listen to me. I feel like he knows I am a mess and that I am so not worth it. I feel like I am too broken even for him. I feel like there is no fixing this. I feel like I am a burden. I feel like I am unworthy”.

Angelica took her friend in her arms and said, “Tell him. Just take it to him and tell him. He’ll know what to do with it”.

They walked quietly into the building. It was cold. Angelica bowed at the sight of her king as Isabella looked at the little piece of bread. They both kneeled before Him.

“He does listen. Prayer sometimes is just a way for you to know exactly what you are putting into His hands. He does know you’re a mess. He died because He thought you were worth it. You can never be too broken for a creator. A creator does not see brokenness. He sees potential. There is no fixing this because you are not a thing to be fixed. You are a person to be loved, and He loves you. You are burdened, not a burden. We are all unworthy, but He thinks you are worth it”.

“You are worth it too, Jesus”, said Isabel as she knelt in adoration with her angel hugging her as they both knelt before their King.
