What do we base our worth on? Everyone wants to know they are worth something. Is it beauty? Education? work? Money? Parents? Spouse? Religion? Select. Think on this. Think hard. Is this why we go from thing to thing, person to person, place to place, church to church, religion to religion, drugs? Is this why we're never satisfied with ourselves? Is this why we lose hope? Is this why we're depressed, and just want out? What do we blame for our misery? Our world, our government, our parents, our friends, spouse?
We may experience moments of happiness, but it too is fleeting. Our need is deeper than that. It's so deep we do everything we can to try to escape it. There is one way to escape--one door. One way, one truth, one life through Whom we can find our worth. Give your life over to Life Himself!
Listen, think on this: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life." For God so loves us, you, me that He gave the most precious thing He had to give! He doesn't change like the wind. What was truth yesterday, is truth today and tomorrow. He said, "I will never leave you or forsake you."
Worth. You want worth, you want to know it every day, no matter what mistake you make. There is only one way to know your worth! Get your eyes off the world government, other people, what you can do or not do. His love never changes. He will never leave you or forsake you. He is what your worth is based on! God Himself!
You can't earn it. You can't deserve it. You can't buy it with all of your money, and best of all, you can't lose it. It's Grace, a free gift from God Himself! His name is Jesus. In Him, you'll find out what you are worth. Jeremiah 17:7 says, "Blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence!
All to Jesus, I surrender, all to Him I freely give. I am blessed. The one work that pleases God is for us to believe. John 6:29.
In His love, a work in progress.
