Apple of God's eye

 

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 God's eyes. To Him, dirty or clean, crumpled or finely

creased, you are still priceless to Him. "

 

Psalm 17:8 states that God 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! We are special! we should not ever

forget it.
