How Often Do You Ponder Your True Worth?

Have you ever considered what truly determines the value of something, including yourself?

Do you believe that gold and diamonds are valuable simply because they are rare and beautiful?

Think again.

Their value comes not from their physical properties but from the price people are willing to pay for them.

This principle applies universally: the worth of anything is determined by the price someone is willing to pay for it.

Now, imagine a world where suddenly no one values gold and diamonds. Their worth would plummet overnight.

This brings us to a critical question: what then determines a person's worth?

The worth of a person, much like gold and diamonds, is determined by the price someone is willing to pay for them. This concept might sound transactional, but it’s a profound truth that underpins all our relationships.

So, what’s your worth to God? Consider this:

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”

- John 3:16

God has already demonstrated your immense value to Him, marked by the ultimate price He was willing to pay. The real challenge lies in whether we accept and revel in this valuation or seek our worth elsewhere, thereby dismissing the extraordinary price paid as meaningless.

As we reflect on this, it’s vital to understand that our feelings about ourselves do not change our inherent worth in God’s eyes.

What are your thoughts on this perspective of worth?

How does it influence your view of yourself and your value to God?
