How high a salary you can command?
How many perks you get....private bathroom, personal parking space, important title?
How strong or bright or tall or talented you are?
In a market economy, you are worth whatever you can command from the market.
In the Divine Economy, you are worth the sum total of divine love....just because you are.
The Good Shepherd will seek for the one lost sheep out of 100 and carry you home. The landowner will go to the marketplace again and again from sunrise to sunset looking for waiting workers just so no one is overlooked. The father will stand at his gate and watch for the foolish, profligate, disrespectful son to return.....so he can welcome him and throw a party.
You will never be worth more than you are to your Creator God.
Jesus lived to give us a concrete example of God's love for all of creation. Jesus died in total commitment to that love. Jesus rose to new life in the power of that love. You are worth exactly that much.
Thanks be to God.
