I likely should have felt that I was of no worth, but, being puffed up, I never did. As one who belongs to Jesus, I know that God made me worth so much that he included me in his family through Jesus. The adoption fees were paid by the blood of his precious Son. That is the only foundation of my worth. Although I must consider financial matters in this life, I hope to hold finances lightly b/c they have no eternal significance short of being used in some way for God’s kingdom, or to sustain me as I try to serve in God’s kingdom. My long term investment should be a giving of my whole self to God, for his use. Holy Spirit, please help me to do that (I feel frightened even as I pray that. I am too dependent on the things of this world that carry the illusion of security.) I trust you to correct me Lord. Will you soften me such that I will be sensitive to your urgings?

We are by nature stiff-necked, not wanting anyone else to impose their standards upon us or measure us by their standards. In the final judgement, God will separate all evil from his people and from the new heavens and earth. Without that the promises of life without suffering, without tears could not be fulfilled…The gospel is no good news at all if what we have to look forward to is continuing to live side by side with sin eternally.
