Good morning.
The world will have us believe our worth is based on a legacy, on changing the world, on achievements. While theses are not necessarily bad, they are heavy, crushing expectations to bear.
The lie that our worth is based on personal achievement will oppress us. It will kill our joy.
The truth of where our worth lies will set us free. Our worth is based on the fact that we are a son or daughter of the one true God. We bear his image. Jesus was crucified on a cross for us.
We (you and I) were worth this much to Him before we did one good work, before we decided to turn and follow Jesus, before we did anything to earn our Father’s love.
God does not expect us to to spend our lives slaving away to build our worth. Rather, we live in the freedom of being His child, displaying love and gratitude to Him because of who we are in Him.
"Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." (John 8:35-36)
Blessings.
Mike and Daphne
