Littlefish,

That is important. Maybe you can build on knowing your worth in God's eyes, and remind yourself that if He knows you are fine, and that you know that He know that, then there must be merit in it. What happened to you doesn't change your worth, although it can make it a struggle to develop self-esteem.

You're actually a step ahead of where I am sometimes on that. While I know that God cares for all, and wouldn't discriminate against someone or leave someone out, it's hard for me to accept that I really am included in that. I'll check back with this thread and see if I can learn from it too.
