You ever had anyone make you feel worthless? I bet you know exactly what I’m talking about. Do you have a person in your life that makes you feel like a complete disappointment? They had plans for you - goals for you, and you didn’t meet them. That is a feeling that makes you want to stop having hopes for your own life because you’ve been made to feel that you are hopeless. I used to play football with this kid who threw up before every single game because he was under so much pressure. His dad had spent his entire childhood prepping him to be a college football star, and deep down he knew he could never live up to those expectations. Sometimes people don’t even have to say it out loud. You can just tell by the look in their eyes that they think you are less than you should have been. Guess what? They were wrong about you. You are not worthless. In fact, there is no scale that could measure your value. Jesus says that you (yes, you!) were a treasure hidden in a field and that when He found you, He was so dead-set on having you that He gladly gave up everything just to make you His own! Thing is, He didn’t give money to get you. He spilled His own precious blood. That’s how valuable you are. You are so infinitely important, that your price tag was nothing less than the very blood of God. Jesus found you, bought you, dusted you off and rejoiced because you became His. According to Jesus, there has never been anything in this world quite so wonderful, special and valuable as you.
