Value

Checking the news this morning I found an article that reminded me of the immense value that God sees in you.

A jug (supposedly French) went up for sale a few months ago for about $300 bucks. A few buyers saw the piece and thought it might be more special than the sellers assumed and a bidding war ensued. The jug ended up selling for 220,000 pounds ($383,514.00 USD) in England! Now the jug has sold at Christie's auction house for 5.58 million! It is a crystal jug that is carved out of a single piece of rock, not a fabricated or formed piece of glass!

What is the lesson? You may think that you are just another brick in the wall, that you are insignificant and not very valuable. However, in God's eyes you are priceless. He sees in you what other buyers miss. Other buyers may put a low value on you, but God sees your real worth. God realizes the potential that you have to do great things with your life. If you will submit to God and allow him to purchase you through Jesus Christ, you will see just how valuable you are! God did not give money to buy you, he basically traded your life for his son's! I am telling you, you are priceless.

Well, the article has an unusually funny ending! Check it out for yourself, and see a picture of the "jug".
