You are Valued

You are Valued

Hello my friends hope this post finds you blessed and highly favored.  Hope you are spending time with the Lord on your faith walk with Him. 

Today I would like to have a discussion about value, your value.  Do you think you are valued?  How much do you think you're worth?  I'm not talking about your net worth; I'm talking about your self-worth.  If you take a moment and look deep inside yourself do you think you have value? Do you have value as a person?  Do you think you are valuable to someone else?

Let’s look into the definition of the word value so you can have an understanding of the word value.

Definition of Value:

·       A valued friend

·       Having value of a specified kind

·       Relative worth, merit, or importance

·       force; significance

·       To consider with respect to worth, excellence, usefulness, or importance

·       Value, worth imply intrinsic excellence or desirability

·       Worth implies especially spiritual qualities of mind and character, or moral excellence

·       Value is that quality of anything which renders it desirable or useful

1 Corinthians 7:23
You have been bought and paid for by Christ, so you belong to him, be free now from all these earthly prides and fears.

Matthew 6: 25-27

Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

1 Samuel 26:24    

Now behold, as your life was highly valued in my sight this day, so may my life be highly valued in the sight of the Lord, and may He deliver me from all distress.”

The Lord God says not only are you accepted; you're valuable.  So the Lord, your creator thinks you are valuable and worth something.  What is that something?  For God sent His only Son to die on a cross that we may be saved. 

The Bible says, “You have been bought and paid for by Christ, so you belong to him—be free now from all these earthly prides and fears.” (1 Corinthians 7:23 TLB)

You have been bought and paid for by Christ. You belong to Jesus. How much does that make you worth? 

Now ask yourself, ‘Who do I belong to?’ The Bible says you belong to God. God exchanged His own Son for you!  The Cross proves your value. Jesus didn't die for junk. You are incredibly valuable. Nobody has ever paid a greater price than God paid for you. You are acceptable and you are valuable!

Here are some scriptures to prove that you are desirable, worth, valued and wanted by God.

Psalms 139:13-15

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.

 Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Colossians 3:12-14

But on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience

God knows your value; He sees your potential. Hold your head up high, knowing that God is in control and he has a great plan and purpose for your life.  God stands before you with His arms open wide. He always accepts you. He always confirms your value.  You are His prized possession. No matter what you go through in life, no matter how many disappointments you suffer, your value in God’s eyes always remains the same. You will always be the apple of His eye. He will never give up on you, so don’t give up on yourself.

Remember you are loved and you are valued.  The Father see’s you as a beautiful jewel.  You are the apple of his eye
