The Apple of My Eyes

necklace and outer by Vintage Treasure

Wherever I go, every person I meet they all long for 

affirmation, acknowledgment, acceptance.

They struggle, 

they fight their way to stand out. 

They try to find their worth in many different ways.

Some prefer to play it safe, still others pick extreme ways to show their value,

to proof they're worth the attention.

They're yearning to see others look at them 

as a precious gem

Those particular reasons are the ones that make someone

act, react, and interact in life.

That also influence how they treat others

Their self worth determines their work, 

how they do it, and 

the result of their work

Insecurity comes from the wrong projection of one's self image

You don't find your worth in things

You won't find it in others

You need to find someone bigger

Unshakable and unchangeable 

A firm foundation 

Whom you can get a grip on

Someone who sees beyond your vanity

Who's willing to love you 

unconditionally

Has He found you ?

Because you are precious in my eyes, 

and honored, and I love you,

I give men in return for you, peoples in exchange for your life.

(Isaiah 43:4)
