Not who we are, but WHO'S we are?
 
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?" 
 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. 
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased,
you are still priceless to Him.

       The worth of our lives comes not in who
we are but WHOSE we are.
