It took me
40 years to find out that I had value. All those years I had believed the lie
that I was worthless. Our worth is found in our identity, but I did not know
who I was. Perhaps I would have introduced myself as a mother of seven, a
pastor's wife, a Christian, a college graduate, a world traveler. But not until
I learned to identify myself as a child of God did I realize my own value. We
are valuable because God made us and chose us. A piece of art is made valuable
by the artist. Even a few squiggles by Monet or Van Gogh would be worth a small
fortune. In the same way, you are of extreme value because the One who made you
is famous. He is the king of the whole universe and He chooses to call you His
child. Inasmuch as paintings are made valuable by the painter’s fame, so gold
is made valuable by the amount someone is willing to pay for it. Consider how
valuable you are since God gave His most precious possession for you, namely
His only son, Jesus.
· Look up the following Bible verses to
meditate upon and to ask the Father to show you how valuable you are to Him.
Write down the verse that is most meaningful to you: Psalm 139:14, Isaiah 43:4,
Deuteronomy 32:10, Matthew 10:29-30
