In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.\u00a0 I John 4:9<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Numbers — they describe many things — but none of them describe your worth.\u00a0 Your value can\u2019t be measured with the bathroom scale.\u00a0 Smaller numbers don\u2019t make you worth more, nor are you diminished when the scale spins up to the larger ones.<\/p>\n

The numbers in your bank account don\u2019t measure your worth, either.\u00a0 The numerals in your street address don\u2019t tell who you are, regardless of whether they represent the biggest of mansions or the most modest apartment.<\/p>\n

God is infinite. He sees far beyond numbers and has a measuring stick we can never live up to — perfection.\u00a0 Yet, He also showed us how much He values us. He allowed His perfect Son to suffer the ultimate punishment and shame as He took the guilt and blame for the sins of His people.<\/p>\n

How much are you worth?\u00a0 You are worth the cross of Christ.\u00a0 If you are His, never doubt your value.\u00a0 You are priceless.<\/p>\n

Eating to live and living for Christ<\/em>,<\/p>\n
