Sense of worth = an internal awareness that as created creatures of God we have value

How does God’s delight in us inform our sense of worth?

• Concept of mutual delight, God to us and us to God

Struggle with worth - Delight is not determined by what I do.

• Seeing our worth based on our relationships with people
• Worth based on what we do or my performance

Engaging in God out of response

• playing from delight v playing for it
• what is our vantage point of God? Father of Love v. Father of Judgement

Our worth within the narrative of God’s plan:

Creation to New Creation

Holding the tensions of life together to see God’s delight is still with us in difficult things:

repentance and delight

the now and not yet
