What are YOU Worth?

Yes, God is supposed to be #1 in our lives. And then our spouses, and then our children, church, places of employments... priorities are everywhere. But, where do you put YOUR well-being in that list of priorities? I had an interesting lesson today in watching out for myself and valuing the person that God created me to be. I had to stop and be kind to myself for a change instead of putting myself at the end of the priority list. I find myself often giving too much of my time. I have even gone without meals before just because something needed to be done. Who among us hasn't skipped a workout at the gym just because we were "too busy"? How many times has someone not valued you and you accepted it?

Here's the thing...we are glorious, one-of-a-kind creations by the MOST HIGH GOD! He values us above everything else in the universe, but we often do not value ourselves. We are more than a punching bag or someone else's "left-overs". We are ALL works of art from the Master!

So, the next time you are feeling less valuable or treated inappropriately, remember that God sees more worth in you than you see in yourself, and then try to ask him for HIS EYES when you look at your own life. You just may start to see more clearly and more positively.
