Seeing Value

A woman set out for a thrift store one day. Maybe she was looking for something specific. Maybe she was doing what so many others do...looking for something that was 'old to someone else and new to me'. Either way, she noticed a piece of artwork which didn't mean anything to her...but it had a really nice frame ...and it was only 4 bucks! So she bought it, took it home and hung it up in her bedroom for a while until she got bored with it and eventually it wound up in the attic.

Years later she happened upon this painting, snapped a picture of it and posted it on social media to get rid of it. To her surprise someone reached out to her and told her to have it authenticated. Sure enough...this painting is being cleaned up and is set to auction off to the tune of, possibly, several million dollars!

Do we recognize the value of those around us? Do we treat others like a valuable work of art...or like a picture someone else gave away and we picked up for a handful of dollars. Maybe we don't see the worth in others...because we don't even know our own value. God paid the highest price for each of us. His own Son, Jesus, died for us.  1 John 2:2 (NLT) tells us ... "He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins—and not only our sins but the sins of all the world."

You and I are so loved by God that He paid the greatest price of all for us. Let's walk in that today. Not like a four dollar frame but the priceless masterpiece He made us to be.
