Do you see those falling hearts right there in the center of this page? Think of each one as a "Deposit" into your deepest core of who you are. They are each a "Deposit" into your own self worth.
You are worthy.
Next time someone says something nice about you………DEPOSIT….that into your worth bank!
Next time you are given a smile…..DEPOSIT….that into your worth bank!
Next time a compliment about your home is given to you….DEPOSIT….that compliment into your worth bank!
Next time someone gives you a hug……take it to the worth bank and DEPOSIT it!
Next time you look up at the night sky filled with stars…..DEPOSIT…..that moment into your worth bank!
Next time you see a moment that warms your heart…..DEPOSIT ……that moment into your worth bank!
As you enter your place of work today…..DEPOSIT…..that into your worth bank.
Smell a beautiful bloom that is blooming somewhere on the road that you are traveling today and…….DEPOSIT…..that wonderful smell into your worth bank!
As you walk past a bakery and you inhale those wonderful smells…..DEPOSIT …….those smells in your worth bank!
As you kneel in church this Sunday…..DEPOSIT…..that opportunity to worship into your WORTH BANK!
When you walk through the door tonight to your home…..DEPOSIT….that wonderful feeling that you have a roof over your head into your WORTH BANK!
As you snuggle into bed with a book and a little one to read tonight…..DEPOSIT….that moment into your worth bank!
As you kiss someone goodnight tonight….DEPOSIT …..that kiss into your worth bank!
As you close your eyes to restore and refuel your body tonight with sleep…..DEPOSIT ……that into your worth bank!
Life is made up of "Moment of Worth".

I know that the word "lock-down" conjures up all sorts of unpleasantness for each one of us. I chose the word on purpose for that reason. If you are full of self doubt about your own self worth, then you are for all purposes in "Self Lock-down". By your own choosing and by your own hand, and thoughts you have chosen to be in this place. Nothing has changed about who you are at your core. Nothing has changed about what you have to offer another person, a relationship, a career, a home, a community, or any other part of your life. The only thing that has changed is your view of yourself.
If you were a child who was fawned over, praised, clapped for, and told how great everything you did was you have a certain mindset about yourself.
If you were a child who suffered at the hands of those who should have loved and cared for you, you have another mindset about who you are.
If you were a child who had to earn that praise and work hard for every recognition, then you have even another type of mindset.
There are many other scenarios that we could insert here. My point is that we all start with a core set of "what we are worth" deposits in our inner heart bank.
So what's your minimum balance in there today?
How can you get some deposits in that overdrawn account?

Last time I asked you to think about something. What has come up for you since I asked?
What has unlocked you so far today?
It is my experience that deep longing and need are storage places where unlocking has not taken place and so that anticipation and expectation grows and grows. Sometimes this happens for days, weeks and even years. I know you have felt this before in some area of your life. Once we pass this point we begin to question our worth. Here are some things you have rattling around in your head:
"…..if I was good….at…..then someone would have already…….."
"…..when I become…….then I will be noticed……."
"…….I need to just be…..in order for…….to see…………."
"……there will come a day when…………."
"……….when this happens…….then I will…………"
Waiting is one of the most hard things to do in life and while waiting what we as women and men do is to chip away at whatever faith we have in ourselves and our abilities. We immediately go to cutting down the very person and the qualities which make us strong, attractive, wonderful and all of the characteristics which are waiting there deep inside as a true "treasure". Yes, you are a treasure.
Just because "someone" or "something" hasn't noticed or happened does not "devalue" you one cent! You have not changed!
When we lock our heart down and we make the decision that we are somehow "less", that is when our view about ourselves changes not one moment before.
Sit with those thoughts and realities and we will speak again on this topic.
