Valuable to God

A certain rich man died and the question was asked at his funeral, "How much did he leave? "He left it all," was the reply.
Often, I hear someone introduced this way: "This is Bob and he works for....." as if where a person works or what a person does determines his or her value.
Yet God does not judge us by our success. He loves each person the same. Your value and mine does not come from what we do, the clothes we wear. the house we live in, or the type of car we drive. Our value comes from the fact that God made us and loves us, and Christ died for us. Our value comes from the fact that He adopted us into His family, and we are now His children forever.
Don't depend on possessions or position for your identity. Get your identity from Christ, for you are of infinite worth to Him.
I've been been reading Hope for Each Day by Billy Graham a daily devotional, this is what I read today.....sometimes I'm moved more than others...this was one of those days. So I thought I'd share.
