Day 18 - 2015 - WORTH


Today's word is:  Worth


What am I worth?



To my family...what am I worth?

To my friends...what am I worth?






To myself...what am I worth?

Until I have determined my self-worth, and realize that unless I feel worth anything to myself, then I cannot be worth anything to others.

So, what are my family and friends worth to me?


My family is worth so much more than I could ever begin to put a price on.  They are so much a part of my very being that I am nothing without my family!  I would be lost without my family...they are my everything!


And, I have so many friends in different aspects of my life.  I would be lost without them as well!  They bring so much to my life; laughter, creativity, encouragement, the feeling of being special...


But, as much as I may be worth to my family and friends; as much as they may be worth to me...

We are worth that - and more - to our Father in Heaven!

Matthew 10 says that we are "worth more than many sparrows".  We were worth so much to Him that He gave His ONLY Son to die on the cross for our sins...

He died for our sins!

So, yes...

That is how much I am worth...how much we are worth!

    1. So glad you found your way here today, Shelby! Writing is worth it when I can touch even one person! I don't claim to be any kind of a "great" or even "good" writer; but my words are shared from the heart and soul, and I thank God they found YOU when you needed to read them.

      {I am behind in my reading as well; tried to catch up a bit tonight...but busy day tomorrow; so headed to bed - oh, well, it's almost tomorrow anyway!!}
