Dirty Money and Other Thoughts
If I offered you a $100 bill I am sure you’d take it. Even if I crumpled it up, threw it on the ground and stomped on it, dragged it through mud, you’d still take it. Right? It’s a 100 bucks! The value hasn’t changed.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make, the decisions others make, words by some, gossip by others, bullying, or just the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we’re worthless.
I learned a long time ago, that what others think, say or do has no bearing on my life. Let them say what they want, think what they want, do what they want. I am not on this earth to please them or let them degrade me. I am on this earth to do one thing, please God. Do I always do that? No, I do not. There are mistakes I have made, decisions I have made, things I have said or done that have been far from pleasing to God.
The great attribute of God is His love, grace and mercy. Even when I do things that are exactly the opposite of what He would have me to do, He still displays these traits to me. No, I don't deserve them, but He freely bestows them on my life.
So no matter what has happened or what will happen, we never lose our value in God’s eyes. To Him, dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, we are still priceless. Because a price could never be put on His Son. And He gave His Son for me. Think about that. No matter what others think about you, or even what you think about yourself, in God's eye's, YOU HAVE VALUE AND WORTH!
