I love gospel music. It has a great rhythm to it. Patti LaBelle is a great gospel singer and released a track called “Anything”. It’s about how the world and people in the world can make us doubt and make us believe lies, and then goes on to remind us that the world is the wrong barometer of who we are. The chorus says:
Don’t let no-one stand in your life
Change the way you feel inside
Nobody on this earth
Can tell you what you’re worth
Stand up
You’re a child of the King
And you can do anything
I need to stop placing my trust and my value in what people think and in trying to find my worth from them. Nobody on this earth can tell me what I’m worth – only God can tell me that. And he has. I am his child – I am a child of the King (John 1:12), and in Him, I can do anything, for I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13).
The world deceives and tries to discourage me, but in Christ I have all I need. Hallelujah!
