Seeing myself as God sees me

It is so funny how things work when God is directing our life. He has a way of talking to us and revealing what is important. I have a mentor that told me that I am much more, to God, than what I am in my mind. I am reading a book called 30 days to your dreams and the chapter that I just read is entitled "See Yourself as God does" and it mirrors what Shelly was saying to me a few days ago.
I do see myself as someone important to God and that God does have wonderful plan for me but it is hard. I did not feel that way for a long time. It was not long ago that I felt as if I had received too many chances and that since I had screwed up, I did not deserve another chance. I now have been freed from that way of thinking but every once in a while, I have the enemy whispering in my ear.
God gave me the talent to communicate with people, empathize with them, and encourage them. These are the gifts that God has given me to complete a job for Him. He has created me for great things - I know that He is working on me. I feel it more and more everyday. I just know that I need to stay in the word daily because I have struggles.

Ephesians 2:10 - For I am God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for me to do.

The book says that children get their ideas about themselves from how they are treated. If their dreams and goals and their very selves are treated as important, then they will come to believe that they matter. When I was growing up, I was ignored and did not feel that I was important. I have gone through many classes and had many hours working through that way of thinking but I still have days that the devil will try to tell me the lies. He tells me that I am not worthy...that no one likes me. That is the time that I know that I have to get in the word.
I know that God delights in me and He has me discovering so much about myself right now. It is good to know that He loves me and has plans for me, great plans. It is important for me to see that I qualify for good things because I need to wake up and choose, daily, to be positive and happy. I need to surround myself with the right people and those that will build me up.
