Priceless

Chanced upon this when I was searching for something else :P Those who joined us after cell yesterday will know why this is funny...hehehe

One day I started one of my seminars by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, I asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. I said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." I proceeded to crumple the bill up. I then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," I replied, "what if I do this?" And I dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. I 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 true value.

Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to Him.
