"The $20.00 Bill"
A well known speaker started off his seminar by
holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked,
"Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going
up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you
but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the
dollar bill up. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still
the hands were 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 all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.
My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson.
No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it
because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.
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 in G-d's
eyes. To Him, dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased,
you are still priceless to Him.
Psalm 17:8 states that G-d will keep us, "as the apple
of His eye."
THOUGHT: The worth of our lives come not in what
we do or who we are but by WHOSE WE ARE!
You are special - Don't ever forget it!
