“And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:1-6),..”
Definition: Value: relative worth, merit, or importance:
Importance: of much or great significance or consequence
Eternal identifiers that cannot be self apportioned. Our actual identity comes from the worth, value and importance God bestows on us through His likeness and image. Lacking in this revelation leaves a void we try to fill, and a question we try to answer using various clues, imaginations and pieces of life. These fail to fully explain anything and so usually only beg more questions. We must keep our eyes on the creator for definition and not on our strengths, weaknesses, habits and accomplishments, because whether we estimate ourselves as good, bad or indifferent we would measure amiss. Only the creator of something can define its true purpose, meaning and being.
Prayers: We pray that very soon in life our child will gain the understanding of Your eternal value and Your deep consideration of us. Then the only necessary pilgrimage will be to know You more and become more like You. So let it be that we all will see Your value and importance in each other. Thank You for Your help and blessings.
