Spiritual Self Worth  - quotes

This article shares spiritual self worth quotes, drawing from the Bible.

Many religions and spiritual paths speak of humility and repentance. But there’s a rich counter-thread of examples of those who affirm their worthiness as part of the spiritual journey.

In the Bible many individuals stand before God trusting that their lives matter and their spirits are worthy of divine care.

Spiritual Self worth cannot be lost

In terms of the spiritual journey, self-worth is Self worth– identification with a self larger than ourselves. The Self that remains at one with God.

In different language, you could say that self-worth comes from allowing God to work through you. God is worthy, and when we know we are part of God, we share that worth.

As the branches of a vine, we share in the vine's access to the resources it draws through its roots.

In terms of the world we can try to earn self worth by being different, being special, working hard, acquiring new skills, becoming famous. But all of those can be threatened by life events, illness, and ultimately by death.

When we cultivate the spiritual self worth we share with God, we are finding a worth that we share with everyone, and which lasts for eternity.

We share God's worth

In our connection with God we are worthy by association.

“Let them praise the name of the LORD:
for his name alone is excellent;
his glory is above the earth and heaven.”
(Psalm 148:13, KJV)

When we try to earn our worth and have pride in being better than, we lose access to our intrinsic worth.

“Though the Lord be high, yet hath He respect unto the lowly: but the proud He knoweth afar off.” (Psalm 138:6, KJV)

“Where is boasting then? It is excluded.
By what law? of works?
Nay: but by the law of faith.
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.” (Romans 3:27-28, KJV)

Worth may be manifest in the world

“And the Lord said to Joshua,
“Today I will begin to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel,
so that they may know that I am with you as I was with Moses...
That day the Lord exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel;
and they revered him all the days of his life,
just as they had revered Moses.” (Joshua 3:7,14, NIV)

We are worthy to be taught

St Paul:
“Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you
will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
(Philippians 1:6, NIV)

Nothing makes you the exception to being of worth in God's eyes

St Paul:
 “Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring– not only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham.” (Romans 4:16, NIV)

“Then Peter began to speak:
“I now realise how true it is that God does not show favouritism
but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right.” (Acts 10:34-35, NIV)

God qualifies those he chooses
... and we are all chosen

“But Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” 
And God said, “I will be with you.” (Exodus 3:11-12, NIV)

 “‘Now get up and stand on your feet.
I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen of me and what I will show you. 
I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles.
I am sending you to them  to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’” (Acts 26:16-18, NIV)

Lift up your heads

A call to open oneself to divine presence — dignity restored.

“Lift up your heads, O ye gates… and the King of glory shall come in.” (Psalm 24:7, KJV)

“Lift up your gates, O princes… and the King of Glory shall enter.” (Psalm 24:7, CPDV)

It’s OK to hold your head high and welcome glory in.

When something good is not showing up in our lives, it may be because on some level, we have resistance to receiving it. We have taught ourselves to be happy with less, and set up internal systems which perceive 'having more' as a threat.

On this page, the "It's OK to..." statements invite you to open to knowing your spiritual self worth.

Radiance 

Radiance as the fruit of healing and alignment.

“Then shall thy light break forth as the morning…” (Isaiah 58:8, KJV)

“Look toward him and be enlightened…” (Psalm 34:5, CPDV)

It’s OK to shine — let your face reflect joy.

Crown of beauty

Mourning is exchanged for royal identity. Endurance is honoured with eternal reward.

“…to give unto them beauty for ashes…” (Isaiah 61:3, KJV)

“…he shall receive the crown of life…” (James 1:12, KJV)

It’s OK to endure and be crowned for it.

Royal identity

You are set apart — sacred and sovereign.

“…a chosen lineage, a royal priesthood…” (1 Peter 2:9, CPDV)

It’s OK to belong to something holy.

Chosen by God

Your worth precedes time. You are chosen in love. Divine initiative affirms your purpose.

“…he chose us in him before the foundation…” (Ephesians 1:4, CPDV)

“You did not choose me, but I chose you…” (John 15:16, CPDV)

It’s OK to be chosen before you have proved anything.

Beloved of God

Identity rooted in belovedness, not performance.

“Beloved, now are we the sons of God…” (1 John 3:2, KJV)

It’s OK to be loved just as you are.

Called beloved in Christ

You are named and called in love.

“…beloved of God, called to be saints…” (Romans 1:7, KJV)

It’s OK to answer the call of love.

Clothed in righteousness

Righteousness is your spiritual garment.

“I put on righteousness, and it clothed me…” (Job 29:14, KJV)

It’s OK to wear truth like a robe.

Garments of salvation

Divine covering affirms your restored identity.

“…clothed me with the garments of salvation…” (Isaiah 61:10, KJV)

It’s OK to be wrapped in grace.

We commend ourselves

“...the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.” (Philemon 1:6, KJV)

“Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way:
in great endurance;
in troubles, hardships and distresses;
in beatings, imprisonments and riots;
in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger;
in purity, understanding, patience and kindness;
in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love;
in truthful speech and in the power of God;
with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;
through glory and dishonour, bad report and good report;
genuine, yet regarded as impostors;
known, yet regarded as unknown;
dying, and yet we live on;
beaten, and yet not killed;
sorrowful, yet always rejoicing;
poor, yet making many rich;
having nothing, and yet possessing everything.”
(2 Corinthians 6:3, NIV)

Spiritual Self Worth regardless of circumstance

In a hard time we can be tempted to say, “What have I done wrong?”

But on the cross, Jesus does not say, “Look what I must’ve done wrong to be crucified.” He chooses to believe that his spirit is worthy of being commended to God.

Jesus on the cross:

“Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” (Luke 23:46, CPDV)

Stephen at his martyrdom:

“Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” (Acts 7:59, KJV)

David’s prayer:

“Into your hands, I commend my spirit. You have redeemed me, O Lord, God of truth.” (Psalm 31:5, CPDV)

Hezekiah says, “look God, I’m worthy of keeping alive.”
