Elder’s Corner: Your Self Worth

The other day I found a meditation which I would like to share with you. 
--Enrique

If you are spiritually born again...in love with Jesus Christ...value the Word of God as the valuable treasure that it is… you truly are the most priceless miracle to God that He could possibly have executed. 
When you turned your life over to Jesus Christ, you made the wisest decision you could ever make.  One of the greatest reasons for your joy through eternity will be knowing that there are no limitations in what God can do in you, for you, by you, and through you.  Let a little of the reality of that joy slip through each day when life seems such a struggle down here.  It is the greatest equalizer, attitude adjuster, and joy jump-starter I can think of.
Your worth to God is not measured by college degrees hanging on your wall. Your worth to God is not measured by how many financial assets you may possess. Your worth to God is not measured by whatever position you may hold in the work place or your rank in the military. Your worth to God is not measured by how high you score on an IQ test.  Conversely, your worth to God is not measured by how handicapped, crippled or diseased you are, or how impoverished or financially poor you may be.
The truth of the matter is—your worth is measured by what Jesus has done for you. He died for you.—He proved that you are of infinite value! And therefore, by you having received what Jesus has done for you, God the Father is well pleased that He created you—a priceless miracle.
