What is Your Worth?
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 $20
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 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, rumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to Him. THOUGHT:
The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we are but by WHOSE WE ARE! You are special - Don't ever forget it!
