Chaplain's Chat
If it's true that the value of something is measured by what someone will pay for it, then we need to rethink our worth. Your value begins with the fact that you were made by the hand of the Creator, in His very image. Genesis 1:27 says this: "So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."
In Romans 5:8 we see how much God values and loves us, for it says: "But God demonstrates His own love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." This is the Creator of life, giving up His own Son to die in our place, before we ever repented. That's how valuable we are to God. Of course it didn't stop there, because He rose again, conquering sin and death and darkness, making Himself available to all who accept Him as their Lord and Saviour.
God tells us further, how much He values us and cares for us. In Matthew 6:26 He says "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?"
God cares about everything that happens to you. He knows your name and exactly where you are in life. His promises are sure and He will not forget you.
As you go through this coming week I pray that you will experience God's Presence, and acknowledge His provision, and the blessings He wants to give to you. You are so valuable to Him.
God bless and sustain you this week.
