This week in church I taught about how God values you as an individual. He does not look at you or me and decide that we are too messed up, broken, or beyond repair. He looks at us and believes we are just as valuable as the day he chose to send His son to this world to take our place. Jesus does not for a moment wonder what compelled Him to step out of the Garden of Gethsemane and accept our place on the cross. There are days that I feel He should have sold the whole lot of us and start over. That brings me right back to the part o the story that I get on my knees and thank my Jesus for sparing me and loving me in spite of myself.
Have you thanked the Lord today? Have you noticed that He is not surprised by who you are? Not the facade you allow everyone to see but the true you. He sees you and values you!
This is why we need to be careful to not allow our personal views of each other to get in the way of how God sees things.
If there is anything I want to leave you with today is that God has such love for you and that alone should inspire you to show that same love to the world around you.
Think about this today.
Genesis 1:26
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
Because God made us in His image and in His likeness should that fact alone cause you to treat the person next you a bit different?
