[fiftiesoldiesmusic Fwd: Your Value in God's Eyes

[Robert Rust]

*Your Value in God's Eyes*

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $50 bill. In
the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $50 bill?" Hands started
going up. He said, "I am going to give this $50 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?" He dropped it on the floor, and started to grind it into the floor
with his shoe. He picked up the $50 bill, 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 is still worth $50.

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 God, dirty or
clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to Him.



*"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper
you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11)
"But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us
alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace
you have been saved.  And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with
him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming
ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his
kindness to us in Christ Jesus.  For it is by grace you have been saved,
through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not
by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:4-9)*

*"So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." (Matthew
10:31) "As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which
you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler
of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are
disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the
cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the
rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. But because of his great love
for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we
were dead in transgressions - it is by grace you have been saved. And God
raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in
Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the
incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ
Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is
not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one
can boast. (Ephesian 2:1-9)*
