VALUE AND PURPOSE
I Peter 1:18-19
"Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot."
I suppose that all humans have the desire to know that their lives have value and purpose. They want to know that they are worth something, and that their life has meaning – that it is not "aimless." The value of my life does not depend on anything I have received from my ancestors or anything I have accomplished. My worth is based in God's love for me. I was valuable enough in His eyes that He sent Jesus to the cross to shed His precious blood for me. He was sinless, yet He died for me. The price He paid to purchase me was beyond comprehension. That alone makes my life valuable.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: The value of a human life is based in God's great love, not in human position, achievement or accomplishment.

Have a "valuable" day. Love you.
