You Are Valuable In His Eyes
"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"
Matthew 6:26
A little girl was asked to bring her birth certificate to school one day. Her mother wisely cautioned her about the important document and told her to be especially careful with it. But in spite of her good intentions, the child lost it. When she became aware of its loss, she began to cry.
"What's the problem, Honey?" her teacher asked sympathetically.
The little girl wailed, "I lost my excuse for being born!"
Isn't it wonderful that we don't need an excuse for being born? We need make no apologies for being who we are. Nobody on planet earth is more or less valuable than you. Sometimes we need to be reminded of that, especially when our sense of self-worth is less than it ought to be.
Prayer: Thank God for His love continually expressed to you.
"Nothing can separate you from God's love, absolutely nothing. God is enough for time, God is enough for eternity. God is enough!"
