Worth Living
A book by Mary DeMuth
Just the title makes me smile!
WORTH LIVING…. It is a way of thinking and
moving that changes what we think of as worthy. I think it should be a new
verb.
“Worthliving”: (v) the act of engaging life with the truth that God created me
because He thinks I’m worth it.
The struggle with worthiness is endless.
Just last week a dear young girl that I am mentoring plopped down on my couch
and shared her feelings of loneliness, disconnection from those who love her
and her general sense of not feeling like she deserves much more.
Seems like all our technological
connections, self-esteem awareness and behavioral science advancements have not
improved our aptitude for feeling okay about ourselves.
Mary DeMuth shares timeless truth in a
refreshing and candid way that actually causes me to pursue the quality of
life that Jesus created me to have.
Worthliving is not about my circumstances for
sure. Sometimes those suck wind!
This is about how I choose to view myself, my
God, my choices and the people in my life. This is about who Jesus destined me
to be. It is rich, it is deep, it is sustainable, and it is full of “Other-focused”
stories.
Mary, thank you for inspiring us to
worthliving!
