Value... it is never about "actual" worth, but what someone is willing to give up to possess an object of desire. Let God's word encourage you,.. a little sparrow is not sold for much in the market; but a sparrow does not fall to the ground but that God takes notice and cares; you are much more valuable to God than many sparrows -Matthew 10:29-31. Although the world places little value on the seemingly insignificant sparrow; it is one of God's creations and he values it enough to take notice when one falls to the ground.
That's like a millionair stopping to pick up two pennies that he dropped. A man nearby asked the millionair why he even bothered about two pennies when he was so rich. The millionair simply smiled and said, "Because they have the name of my God and creator upon them."
So value changes by perspective. Unlike art, for example, our value is not measured by man's opinion, including our own; but based on the perspective that we are created by God and uniquely bear His image. We are so valuable to God... He loves us sooo much, that He sacrificed His Only Begotten Son to purchase us back to Himself... even when we didn't want His love -Romans 5:8.
You are priceless!
