it’s easy to doubt your self-worth when people treat you poorly.
how could you be a precious, fragile gem when someone handles you so roughly?
you must be old and worthless and worn, like a forgotten rag
used for the task of the moment,
too tattered and filthy to notice damage.
and yet you do feel it,
you get scratched and bruised so easily,
and you don’t understand why.
it shouldn’t be normal,
otherwise wouldn’t people treat you with the utmost care?

so maybe you build up a wall of protection
but it makes you forget how to feel, numb
it makes you forget that there is something precious and fragile and valuable underneath
it makes you hard

people forget how precious and fragile you are – but don’t let yourself forget.
God doesn’t.
in His eyes,

[the only true sight]

you are an indispensable part of His Masterpiece
you were created with a complexity and exquisite singularity that science has not understood.
you are more fragile than the thinnest glass, more precious than the most costly gem,
more valuable to God than any other,
and as worthy of God’s love as His perfect son Jesus Christ.
and God knows it!
God treats you with more care and tender love than you could imagine
and He heals and mends and strengthens your broken parts.
He is your perfect protector.
He is your strength and your rock.
don’t trust anybody else with your heart
until you find the guy (or girl) who knows how fragile and precious you are
and who treats you as if you could shatter at any moment,
whose heart is God’s, and whom God trusts with your most fragile heart.

you don’t have to guard your own heart
