If
you knew how valuable and treasured you are, you would do all you can
to lift others up when they are down, and not want to put them down or
try to find fault with them.
If you knew how valuable and treasured you are, you would always encourage others and never discourage them.
If you knew how valuable and treasured you are, you would help people
see beyond their present circumstances into a bright and shining future
filled with hope because all of us have a bright and shining future
anchored in the hope we have in Christ.
If you knew how
valuable and treasured you are, you would see people through their
brokenness and not their faults because that is how your beloved Father
in heaven sees you.
If you knew how valuable and treasured you
are, you would pray daily for others, especially the lost, and the
unlovable who are seldom on anyone’s prayer list. You would understand
that hurting people hurt people and often lash out because they don’t
know what to do with the pain they carry inside.
If you knew
how valuable and treasured you are, you would know that it is impossible
to love others unless you receive God’s love first. We love because He
first loved us. (1 John 4:19)
Precious child of the living God, when
you know your value and worth in Jesus, you will go from a head
knowledge relationship with the lover of your soul to a heart knowledge
relationship overflowing with love, mercy, and grace that will freely
pour out on others.
You are His treasure! Of so much worth! “See how
very much our Father loves us, for He calls us His children, and that
is what we are! (1 John 3:1)
