PRICELESS
A well known speaker started
off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked,
"Who would like this 20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said,
"I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this."
He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up. He then asked, "Who still
wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he
replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and
started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now
all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went
into the air.
"My friends, you have all learned a
very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still
wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the
dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our
way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has
happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value in God's
eyes. To Him, dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still
priceless to Him.
