Your Worth

“You are a royal priesthood, His priceless possession”

1 Peter 2:9 (paraphrased)

Here is a thought going into the weekend. Have you actually thought about your worth? No, I’m not talking about your financial portfolio, I’m talking about your actual worth, how much you mean to God. Like the words to an old song, “You might only be one person in the world but you might just be the world to one person,” it’s true! Yes, loved one, you do mean the world to the One who matters most.

Our bible tells us, “For God so loved this world that He gave His only begotten Son, that who ever believes in Him, would not perish but have everlasting life.” Believe it or not, friend, you are the world to God, and even if you were the only person to ever walk this planet, Jesus Christ would have given His life for you. Talk about worth!

I don’t know how you see yourself today but I do know how God sees you and that’s what matters most. God thinks the world of you. Yes, there are approximately seven billion people on this planet but because God is God He alone has the ability to think of you and me “simultaneously, exclusively”. No one else is occupying His time, no one is preventing you from enjoying direct communion and fellowship with God. His throne of grace is open to you and me twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week and three hundred and sixty-five days a year.

Just think about that for a moment. We serve a big God! Seven billion people could be praying to God at all the same time and He has the capacity to answer each of us individually without any hesitation or us having to wait in line. You will never get a busy signal with Jesus. He’s always waiting to hear from you! Isn’t that what the prophet of God declared in Jeremiah 33:3, ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’

Remember that today. God is mindful of you and no matter how you feel about yourself, no matter what is or isn’t going on in your life, God loves you unconditionally, He can’t love you any more and He will never love you any less. You are secure in His love. It’s true, beloved, “you might only be one person in this world but you ARE the world to God”. After all, “God so loved the world (that includes you) that He gave His only begotten son”. You are always on His mind.


“For I know the thoughts I think towards you says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope”

Jeremiah 29:11

I LOVE YOU!
