YOU'RE PRECIOUS
AND VALUABLE!
(Nothing Is Too Good For You)
TO THE BIBLE
Romans 8:32
"He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?"
LET'S TALK
You can tell how valuable you are by considering how much God had to sacrifice for your salvation. I love the Message Translation of our theme Scripture; it says, "If God didn't hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn't gladly and freely do for us?" (Romans 8:32 MSG).
God gave up His Son, Jesus, in order for you to live. This means He takes you to be as important as Jesus is. When you let this truth sink in and allow it remold your mindset and inspire your actions, soon enough, some people may start saying things like: "Don't mind him, he thinks he's so special and important." Well, when they talk like that, you shouldn't let their snide comments get to you. Say to yourself and anyone who cares to listen: "I don't just think I'm special and important, I know I'm important, because I'm God's precious child."
Some Christians don't enjoy all that God has made available to them simply because they don't know who they are. When you discover who you are in Christ from God's word, you become bold in your walk with God. Understand that nothing is too good for you. God already did the best for you. Nothing could be better than Jesus. When you talk to the Lord, make your requests boldly, knowing that you're precious and valuable to Him, and He always hears you.
Go Deeper
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Romans 8:35
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
1 Peter 1:18
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Speak
God's Word reveals that I'm His precious jewel. Therefore I stand up tall. He paid so dearly for me because I'm special. I know my value. I'm a success. My future is bright. I'm making progress every day of my life. Nothing is too good for me.
