worth: 40 words in 40 days

The worth of a thing is determined by the price paid. The price paid for my soul is the invaluable blood of my Savior. My God paid the price of His Only Son to ransom me.

My true worth lies in the fact that I am a child of God. No failure, no accomplishment can change our relationship.

I often try and set my own value by performing or by judging my behavior. How clean is my house? What size clothing do I wear? How good are my child's grades? This is an affront to the blood.

I was bought with a price. The dignity woven into my soul and body mirrors the dignity in my Master's body. I want to learn to honor my body like it is the sacred dwelling place that it is.

Or didn't you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Don't you see that you can't live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for? The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body. (1 Corinthians 6:16-20 MSG)
