_When Value Goes Unnoticed_ Finding Strength in Your Own Worth_

What drives someone to seek a life that feels abundant instead of just getting by day to day? In this raw and faith-filled message, Dr. Theresa M. Bell talks openly about financial struggle, feeling overlooked, and the uncomfortable realisation that some people around her simply do not value what she gives. She shares how having her phone cut off pushed her into unexpected quiet time with God, where she turned to the book of Ruth.

Rather than focusing on the famous Boaz, she reflects on the three widows and what it means, in biblical terms, to be a woman without provision. From there, she starts asking hard questions: why is she, with all her degrees and credentials, still stuck in a season of waiting and scraping by for rent, petrol and basic needs? Through prayer, she senses a clear answer: "you're giving your blessings away" to people who don't value her.

She talks about being "fertile ground" and challenges anyone constantly giving to others to ask whether there is any harvest coming back. If all you're getting is exhaustion, she bluntly calls that "a leech" and says it's time to pull back. There’s gentle humour woven through her honesty, like her annual rule that October is "selfish" month where she feeds herself emotionally so she doesn’t end up completely drained.

She speaks about pruning people, habits and even possessions, letting go of what keeps you stuck in survival mode instead of stepping into the "abundant life" God promises. For anyone who feels used, overlooked or permanently tired from helping others, this message offers a strong mix of scripture, straight talk and practical spiritual self-respect. It might just prompt you to take inventory of who and what is quietly draining your strength.
