When Your Sense of Worth is Tied to Production

Are you a high achiever who secretly ties her sense of worth to production? I am. I know many of my readers struggle with feeling like they have to perform to earn love. That’s been my story for most of my life.

This constant performance is exhausting. No matter how hard I try (and boy, do I try hard!), I always feel a little empty inside. I think, “If I could just produce that one other thing, I will feel good about myself.” When that goal is accomplished, I immediately pursue another goal, since the emptiness remains.

If you relate to this inner struggle, I understand you, friend. The good news is that God can set us free from that struggle. I’m a recovering perfectionist. I’ll always be tempted to think my worth is tied to production. Yet God has shown me that my worth lies in him, not in how much I produce. I’d love to help you learn that lesson.
