Valued in His Eyes
“As for me, You
uphold me in my integrity, and You place me in Your presence forever.”
Psalm 41:12, NASB
It used to be that a penny
was worth something. In fact, I remember when, as a little kid, even as old as
10, my dad would bend down to pick up a penny off the
sidewalk that had fallen from another.
“To some people, this
isn’t worth the effort. But to me it is”, he would say. He knew what it was
like to be poor, and made sure his family never was. Mom said he would tell
her, “I work two jobs, 60 hours a week, so my family and I will never be poor
again.” Louis Martin gave his all for his family.
As of 2025, each penny
costs $.03 to make. So, the government is planning on doing away with it. I
guess it is a good thing, then, that I took my pennies to the coin machine at
Food Lion to cash them in last week. No one will pick them up off the street again.
There will not be any.
Being thankful that the
Lord continually shows His love and how He values us is so important to our
self-esteem. Without His ongoing affirmation, approval, and encouragement
towards us, the lies of the world would beat us down to the point that we give
up, turn back, or simply quit.
We are valued in His eyes.
He created us. He wants us to be with Him, in His family, now and forever more.
He proved it then, and He
proves it now as we spend time with Him.
“I have
been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live,
but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now
live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me
and gave Himself up for me.” Galatians 2:20, NASB
We are worth more than a
penny. We are worth the life the Lord Yeshua (Jesus) freely gives us as we
abide with Him in our daily walk. Keep on walking with Him as your guide.
