Worth

A speaker started off his seminar by holding a $20 bill in the air.

In a room of 200 he asked, "Who would like a $20 bill?" Hand started going up. He said, "I am going to give this to one of you but first let me do this..." He proceeded to crumple up the bill. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still hands were up in the air. "Well, what if I do this?" He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now who wants it?" Still hands went up in the air. "My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it, because, it didn't decrease in value. It was still worth $20.

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled and ground into the dirt by decisions we make and circumstances that come our way. We feel that we are worthless, but, no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value, dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who love you. The worth of our lives come, not in what we do, or who we know, but by who we are. You are special, don't ever forget it!"

Kneel and pray
Tell God how big your problems are
And remember to tell your problems how big God is!
