HOW VALUABLE YOU ARE

By "Rebekah" the Bride

(Lu.12:6-7; Jn.3:16; Acts 10:34; Rom.6:23;
1 Cor.6:20; 2 Cor.6:16; Heb.9:28)

***
I wonder if you know just
how valuable you are?
It's God's evaluation
that matters most, by far.
Though every man's a liar,
what our God says is true;
and He says that there's no one
more valuable than you!
***
Since our God is the Author
of life-of yours, of mine,
and each of us is different,
each God's unique design,
that gives us each great value;
it's what gives us our worth,
because our Great Creator
has given to us birth.
***
If you live in a prison
or in a mansion great,
your value as a person
will always be first rate;
for value as a person
is not in where one lives.
It is because God made us;
to us, it value gives.
***
We did not choose our parents,
the ones who gave us birth.
Our parents don't determine
how much we each are worth.
If we were blessed with good ones,
thank God, but, then, please know:
they're not what gives us value,
as through this life we go.
***
It's not your job that gives you
your value on this earth,
though all around might tell you
your job's what gives you worth.
The job makes not the person;
the person makes the job.
Don't let the world's opinion,
from you, your value rob.
***
It may take time to get this
great truth across to you,
that you are not important
because of what you do.
It's who you are that tells you,
important, yes, you are.
Just being God's creation,
it is enough, by far
***
Accomplishments and riches,
nobility of birth,
the world rates these of value,
they say they give us worth.
But God is no respecter
of persons, we should know.
The world's evaluation,
of us, it needs to go.
***
Suppose you had an illness
and on a sick bed lay,
does this mean that your value
got up and went away?
If you don't lift a finger,
a bit of work to do,
it cannot take your value,
on earth, away from you.
***
To God, we must have value;
look at the price He paid!
For God so loved the world
that on His Son He laid
the wrongs that we have all done,
Christ took away our sin.
And He will live within us,
if we will let Him in!
***
All people have such value:
the baby in the womb;
the elderly and in between-
conception to the tomb.
And after that He'll give us
eternal life that's free.
It means we'll be of value,
for all eternity.
