Value (pt.4): Valuing Ourselves

For those of us who believe and know God we realize that God values us. And because He values us we should value ourselves. It is when we put value on other people around us first that we begin to make our mistakes. When we value them over ourselves and what they believe as right for us or good for us, we agree with it because they are the center of our universe. It has been said that because the universe is infinite the center of our individual universes are ourselves, because it is infinite from a starting point, which is dependent upon our own individual perspectives physically. I would like to take that further and say that the center of the universe is that which is within ourselves. Having God as the center of our lives makes him the center of our universe and just like an atom we can bring unto ourselves that Catalyst that will bring us the energy that will change potential and possibility into action and reality!

God says that He values us, and He proves it and shows it daily. “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11). Perhaps the greatest example of his showing his value for us, is when He sent his Son on a mission to free us from the debt of sin-to die as our sacrifice. His child, who was perfect and substituted for imperfect and severely flawed people, was sacrificed. But it was all a result of love. Romans 5:8 reminds us ,“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” How much does He value us and love us if He sent Jesus, though we did not deserve him! And because of this, we should obviously love him, and also love ourselves! We should Value ourselves!
