In most cases, when you break things beyond repair, that thing or item now has lost its value. You and I may have felt this way at one point in our lives. You might have felt as if you had no value in this life. One thing we can be sure of is to God, we are priceless even when we don’t see ourselves as having value. First of all, why would we feel as if we have no value? Is it because a harsh word has been spoken to us? Or was it an action or lack of an action? A gun by itself is harmless. Even with ammunition, it’s not lethal until it’s pointed at what you intend to shot. Stupid is just a word until it’s pointed at someone to harm them.
As hard as it may seem, we need to stop putting value on the words that devalue us. The only true opinion we should real y care about is that of Christ. Do not let others dictate who you are or your value. Remember we were created in God’s image. So because God is not a loser, not stupid, not ugly, and not unloved or even unwanted, we cannot be those things God is not. So the next time someone tries to devalue you, just say, “I know my value, for I am a child of the most high God!”
