Value

This past Sunday evening I spent time in the message talking about self worth. I think that it is a valid question to ask yourself, "How much do I think I am worth". How we feel about our value determines so much of what we do in our lifetimes. Will you give your value over to a relationship, career, or even a hobby? Will you trade who you are to chase something that you feel gives you value?

I believe that it is so important to realize that our value is not in what we do, but in the price that we were bought at! Value defined in economics is determined by what someone is willing to pay for a certain item. If you look for value in something that has never truly invested in you, how do you accurately gauge your value? This is the difference between guessing the price from the window and actually ponying up the dough to pay for that precious item in the store window.

Only God has truly invested in your life. Jesus gave up His life for yours. If we tie up our value with a person, career, or some other outward expression, we will spend a lifetime looking at our potential from outside of the store window. In Matthew 6:21 it says "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also". If your value is where your heart is, there is no way you can attach yourself to something or someone other than God and truly live out your true potential. God paid the price!! Are you BOLD enough to see the value that God has for you!!! Who else thought you were worth enough to give up their son for you?! Go for it!!
