IN THE EYES OF GOD

Matthew 18:12-14---How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

When you try to find your value by looking into the eyes of others you will not see the truth. To find the real truth about your value you must look into the eyes of God. In the eyes of God, of all the shining stars, of all the galaxies, of all the wonders of creation from the beginning until the end of time, the most valuable creation God ever created was you. In the eyes of God, of all the precious gems, of all the precious diamonds, of all the riches, ever collected in the past, and of all the riches to ever be collected in the future, you are more precious than all of these riches combined. In the eyes of God, of all the beautiful songs ever written and sung, of all the beautiful poetry ever written and spoken, of all the beautiful artwork ever created, none of these creative works compare to the beauty God sees in you. You are more treasured to God than you could ever imagine. You are more valuable to God than you could ever dream. You are the gleam in God’s eye. You are the hope of His heart. You are the love of His existence. You are the reason for His love. Your soul was the reason He gave you life. Your purpose is the reason He walks and talks with you each day. You are the expression of His love. Your value is the reason His only Son suffered and died for you.
