How Much Are You Worth?

12/30/2022

I love making lists, setting goals, and reaching benchmarks. I feel value, worth, and a sense of purpose and accomplishment when I can check off all my items I need to finish for the day. But what happens when I don’t make my goals, or I get sick or need to take vacation. When I place all my value in my accomplishments and circumstances my measure of worth fluctuates wildly. Our true value lies in our character. It’s about who we are, not what we do. God sees us not for what we have done for him lately but as who we are in Christ. 1 John 3:1 says, “See how great a love the Father has given us, that we would be called children of God; and in fact we are. For this reason the world does not know us: because it did not know Him.” As believers we have been given God’s character for us to reflect in our daily lives. It’s great that I might knock out 20 items, set incredible goals for the ministry, and create a structured work environment, but was I patient with my kids that day, did I love and honor my wife, or was I kind to my neighbor. Am I walking in a manner worthy of the calling? Am I living in a way that reflects my view that my value comes from my identity in Christ? Our desire at the house is that those that stay with us feel value despite their life circumstances. We want them to see that their worth is not dependent upon what they did in the past or what they might do in the future, but it’s because they were fearfully and wonderfully made by God.
