Look at how MUCH you’re worth!

Truths mystify common discrepancies, for instance, you are worthy. You are. Yet you may feel not.

We all fall for the lie. That we aren’t. That Christ alone is. The previous sentence is true, and because it’s true, so are we, worthy.

You and I were, indeed are, worth dying for!

Some diminish your worth.

You may doubt your worth.

Jesus decided your worth.

God delights in your worth.

It’s true. Some diminish our worth. They treat us less than. We’re pawns in their world, whether by action or omission. We’re expendable to them. They hate the idea that we’re to be regarded. And nearly everyone we come across will treat us less than when they feel they’re losing. It’s the flow of life.

It’s true. We do doubt our worth. From time to time. Or, it’s the case by our addictions or transgressions or habits or insecurities that we don’t regard ourselves as we should. We may give others priority, because they, in our own minds, are more deserving. This is beyond the gratuity of love. We accede to others in these cases because they seem worthier than we are.

It’s true. Never truer. Jesus decided our worth. Every human being that ever lived or will live. By this one act of obedience to die on a cross, the man-of-utter-holiness who never sinned has become sin for us. His blood paid a debt with God that we could not pay.

It’s true. Never truer. God delights in your worth. The Lord of all creation spoke you into being, and this God so worthy of all our worship, the eternal God, fore destined you, designed you and made you. God made you perfect. Sure, the Lord knows you sin like all get out, but that’s why the Father sent the Son — to die in your place.

So, the moment you feel unworthy, of little value, when you’re underappreciated, remember what you mean to God. You mean the amount of the death of God’s Son. That’s how important you are, your friend is, even your enemy.

Look at how MUCH you’re worth to God. Look at how MUCH you can esteem the fact that you live and breathe. Just think and ponder and meditate on the fact that, for such a time as this, you are worth more than all the gold in the world to God.
