Luke 12:24
Look at the birds. They don't need to plant or harvest or put food in barns because God feeds them. And you are far more valuable than birds!
I John 1:4
You belong to God.
I Corinthians 7:23
You have been bought and paid for by Christ, so you belong to Him.
What something is worth is what someone is willing to pay for it. Jesus became a Man in order to be the perfect sacrifice, the Lamb of God, who shed God's infinitely valuable Blood to purchase each of us. That is what you and I are worth to God: beyond valuation.
So I belong to God in three ways: He owns me because He made me; He owns me because He purchased me to be His own property; and He owns me as He was the perfect Lamb Who was sacrificed to pay my debt to God for my sin-nature, as well as all the sins that emanated from it, and thereby redeemed me from a miserable eternity, to spend forever with Him, instead, as His own sister, friend, and bride.
That is what I am worth, not what any other human person thinks of me. And that is what you are worth, too.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
