I have $20 I would like to give you. Do you want it? Before you take it, I have to tell you that it is crumpled up and torn in a few places. People have written on it and it is missing a corner. Do you still want it? Of course you do!! It's 20 bucks! It doesn't matter what it looks like, it is still worth $20. The paper and ink that make up the substance of that bill are actually quite worthless. The only reason that money has value is because of the gold that the U.S. treasury backs it up with.
It is the same with us. The collection of cells that we are made up of have very little value without the backing of God. He is who gives us our worth. And some days we are pretty crumpled. Torn. Missing pieces. Be we still have value. Because we are His. He created us in his image and our value and worth is a reflection of Him. Our value does not come from ourselves. It comes from Him who created us.
whoops! I +1'd this because it is awesome, but I made it unpublic.
