FIRST-PERSON: Perception vs. reality
A person's self-worth is not what others think but what God declares, Kristen White writes, noting that an identity of "belonging to Him and being loved by Him is more powerful and lasting than any other relationship or achievement."
FIRST-PERSON: Words of life
Kristen White compares Scripture with the passing words of contemporary culture. "God's words are different. They have power. They endure," White writes. Today's marketers, meanwhile, "appeal to your wants and needs, yet they offer nothing lasting. Their words are only as good as the next product."
