You are valuable not because of who you are, but because of whose you are. What is it that makes you valuable? What makes you feel important? Is it your wealth? The fact that youre well educated? Do you feel important because you get lots of cell phone calls, so that must mean youre popular? Or do you feel valuable because you have a high position of leadership at work? While it certainly isnt wrong to be wealthy, well educated, popular, or in leadership, we must not let those things define our worth and value, because things can (and likely will) fail us. Cars break down; houses burn down; profits sink down; and with them, our self-worth falls down. But God declares that youre worth everything to him -- youre worth all Christ offered.You are not your own; you were bought at a price( 1 Corinthians 6:19-20). That price is the life of Jesus. You are precious in Gods sight -- youre his child ( Ephesians 1:5).Almost every parent would agree that his or her child is the most precious thing in the world; and thats the way God views you!Its no wonder God labels his people as his treasured possession ( Deuteronomy 14:2). Dont let wealth, education, popularity, status, or anything else define your value. Know that you worth everything to God, because youre His.
