_When Value Goes Unnoticed_ Finding Strength in Your Own Worth_

September 10, 2024

Dr. Theresa M. Bell

Dr. Bell shares a powerful testimony about her current struggles and the deeper spiritual lessons that have emerged from them. She reflects on how her personal storms have drawn her closer to God and led her to a season of introspection. One significant moment of revelation came when her cellphone service was disconnected, which opened the door to quiet communion with God. Through this time of reflection, she felt led to study the book of Ruth, drawing parallels to her own life and realizing that in certain areas, she has not been valued as she should be. Dr. Bell speaks on the frustration of sowing without reaping a proportional harvest, likening it to casting pearls before swine—giving freely but receiving little in return. She recognizes that some of the relationships in her life may require pruning, as they fail to acknowledge her worth. Despite these challenges, her focus remains on raising her daughter and maintaining her household, all while trying to avoid losing everything she has worked for. The storms, though challenging, are refining her purpose and trust in God’s timing.
