Demonstration Of Our Worth
Friday January 20, 2017
A one-hundred-dollar bill, whether it is in prime condition or is crumpled and dirty, is still worth what the creator of the bill has determined. God has clearly demonstrated the worth of each person through the death of His beloved son Jesus. God is our loving Heavenly Father and we are His precious beloved children. Do we see ourselves and others in this light? When we question our own worth or that of another human being, we need to remember who God our Creator says we are.
See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! (1 John 3:1 NLT)
When we experience God’s love, acceptance, strength and peace, we can begin to see ourselves and others differently. God gives us gifts and talents so we can be a blessing to those who live in community with us. We no longer need to be driven by a selfish agenda but instead can focus on loving and caring for others. Our actions will give witness to how God’s love made a difference in our lives and that, in turn, will encourage others to come to know Him.
Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate? Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose. Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. (Philippians 2:1-4 NLT)
Prayer – Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your unfailing love for me. Help me to be a blessing in my community and to demonstrate the lavish love You have poured out on me in my service to others. AMEN
