yOU'RE STILL VALUABLe

A well-known speaker started off
his seminar holding up a 1000
naira note. In the room of 300,
he asked, "Who would like this?".
Hands started going up.
He said, "I am going to give this
1000 naira note to one of you
but first, let me do this." He
proceeded to crumple up the
1000 naira note. He then
asked,"Who still wants it...?" Still
the hands went 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 crumpled and
dirty. "Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.
"My friends" said the pastor, "No
matter what I did to the money,
you still wanted it because it did
not decrease in value. It was still
worth 1000 naira".
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.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely
creased, you are still priceless to
those who love you. The worth
of our lives comes not in what
we do or who we know, but by
WHO WE ARE.
