This seemed like a great daily devotion. Hope y'all enjoy it as much as I
did.

> 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 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 all 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, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to
> Him.
>
> Psalm 17:8 states that God will keep us, "as the apple of His eye."
>
> THOUGHT: The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we are but
> by WHOSE WE ARE!
