For physical training is of some value, but godliness (spiritual training) is useful and of value in everything and in every way for it holds promise for the present life and also for the life which is to come.
1 Timothy 4:8 (amp)
Sometimes negative self talk invades our space and our idea of being worthy goes out the window! Taking these negative thoughts and reversing them takes work but it is a great place to start. This is like any Spiritual practice it takes discipline. Today begin with I am worthy ... I love you God! And don't let anyone or anything invade that!

This is a great illustration how Gods word can work in our lives or not!
The seed or the word of God fell on the rocks, in the midst of thorns and into good soil. The seed that fell in good soil produced 100 fold, not that is a great return. So the question for us is what kind of soil are we? Do we allow the word to come in for a bit and when trouble comes we get uprooted? Do we take sprout but have no roots?
The great thing is we have the opportunity to change the yield in our life by planting Gods word.
