Our worth to God

Posted by: tz8cy5 <tz8cy5@...>

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In
the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started
going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first,let
me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up. He then asked, "Who
still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air.

"Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground
and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now
all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into
the air. "My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter
what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in
value. It was still worth $20.

Many times in our lives,we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt
by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as
though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will
happen, you will never lose your value in God's eyes. To Him, dirty or
clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to Him. Psalm 17:8
states that God will keep us, "as the apple of
His eye."

THOUGHT: The worth of our lives come not in what we do or who we are but by
WHOSE WE ARE!
