ONE'S WORTH
Author Unknown
October 10, 2011

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20
bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one
of you, but first,
let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill in his hand.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the
air. "Well, what if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and
started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now
all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still, the hands
went up.

"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter
what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not
decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we
are dropped, crumpled
and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the
circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless.
But, no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never
lose your value in God's eyes. To Him, dirty or clean, crumpled or
finely creased, you are still priceless.

Thought: The worth of our lives come not in what we do or who we are,
but in WHOSE we are.
