You're More Valuable than You Know

How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them! (Psalm 139:17, NKJV)

The vision the Lord gave Cheryl Salem was more powerful than anything I've ever heard.

"It was as if the Lord was going from garage sell to garage sell of life. At He walked along, He noticed the devil selling everyone. After He had went by all the fancy and ornate itims, He came to a pile of dirty rags. The rags were so bloodied and dirty, no amount of washing by human hands were clean them. As He came to this pile of bloodied rags, He looked at Satan and said, "I'll take her." I value her so much, that I'll give my life."

Ladies, do you realize that's how valuable we are in the eyes of God? It didn't matter that at the garage sell, there were all the fancy itims to choose from. But, He didn't want any of it. He wanted you and He wanted me. That's just how valuable we are to a Holy and magnificent God. Are you struggling today with your value and worth? Let me encourage you, remember just what God did for you. And you know something? If you were the only one on earth, He still would've went to that cross and gave His life.

Father, thank You for reminding us of where we have our value. It's not in material and earthly persuits. But it's in You. Help us to remember just how high of a price You paid for us. In Jesus name, Amen.   

Who Are You?

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; (1 Peter 2:9, NKJV)

Over the last few weeks, I've struggled to know who I am. Because of some circumstances, I've felt like I have no value. I've felt as though my relationships mean nothing, that I'm not even worth having as a friend. But through some dear friends reassurances and through my Jesus, I've realized all those things are lies from the enemy. I do have worth. I do have value. You know what ladies? This verse tells me that I'm a royal daughter of the King. Not only am I royalty, I'm set apart. Because I'm all those things, I'm to praise Him for bringing me out of the darkness into His light. Do you feel devalued today? Do you feel like you're worthless? Let me say, you're not devalued. You're not worthless.

Father, thank You for giving us our worth. Thank You for letting us know that our value isn't in people; it's in You. Lord we love You and we praise You. Amen. 

Your Valuable to a Holy God!

How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them! (Psalm 139:17, NKJV)

"You're worthless! Noone loves you!" Those were the words that rang in her ears. She's heard them for the last several years of her life, so she naturally didn't believe her friend when she was told differently. You see, her friend had the message of Christ for this precious lady. She told her how much she was loved and valued not only by her, but more importantly by her Creator. Have you been told that you have no value? No self-worth? Ladies, every bit of that is a lie! You have value! You were valued so much that over 2000 years ago, Christ went to the cross and paid the ramsom for you. Not only are you valued, but when He looks at you; do you know what He sees? He sees perfection. He sees a lady who, in her flesh isn't perfect, but in the eyes of the one who formed you, you're a jewel. Ladies, do you need to be reminded of your value today? I pray this message will remind you just how valuable and precious you are!

Father, thank You so much for seeing us as value. Help us to realize just how You do see us. In Jesus name, Amen.
