ANCHOR VERSE
Man judges by appearance, but God looks on the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7
I. Introduction
How did you determine the prices of the things that were presented to you?
Did you set the price too high or too low? Some of us judge things based on what
they look like or on what they are known for. We rarely recognized their real value
unless we know how they are made and where they came from. Same thing with
what we do with people. Same thing with what we experienced in our lives.
We are often misjudged by other people around us. We feel hurt whenever
label us differently from who we really are. Because of this, we either live up to the
preconceived labels or work hard to rebel against it. In effect, we live our lives
completely different if not opposite of who we really are. Thus, we fail to recognize
our true worth.
The heart is where our true worth lies. We are special, privileged and made to be
great. Your heart will be where your treasure is. Matthew 6:21
A. Joyful Heart
Have joy because you know your worth. When you know this, you
are contented in everything you are. It doesnt matter what you have and
you dont have for real happiness comes from within.
B. Prayerful Heart
Be continuously dependent on God to remind us of our
worthiness. A prayerful heart allows us to be mindful of the things that
can be tarnish our real value.
C. Grateful Heart
Be thankful of everything and anything that is happening to us. No
matter what happens in our lives, we should always see it as a blessing
from God. You, O Lord, know me, you see me, you have found that at
heart I am with you. Jeremiah 12:3 (The New American Bible)
God sees our hearts. God knows who we really are. He sees our
value in spite of our doubts, fears, sins and insecurities. Therefore, we
should always be confident in Him.
Integrity is
V. Conclusion
Never forget how much God saw us worthy enough for Jesus to die on the
cross. He sees our sins and loves us despite of it. We have worth because He made
us worthy. Let us always strive to protect this worthiness. Let us all strive to live
according to how He has designed us to be.
