Your True Worth

One day a man walked into a thrift store and purchased what he thought was a replica of the Declaration of Independence. The purchase price? $2.48. Unknown at that time, was that this was no replica. It was one of only 200 copies of the Declaration of Independence that John Quincy Adams had made. It's real value? One-half Million dollars.

You see, this copy was undervalued. Perhaps in your life, you have been undervalued too. Perhaps many times. By many people. You may even believe it yourself.

You've been called names.
You've been rejected.
You've been ignored.
You've been mistreated.

And just like that copy of the Declaration of Independence, people have no idea of what you are worth.

But someone knows - God knows.

In a moment of time, God sent His Son, born as a man, to pay the penalty for your sins. John 3:16 reads, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

Today, as we approach Christmas, we realize that Christmas is not lights and trees and presents. Christmas is God's gift to you - all you need to do is accept the gift.
