Your Worth

“And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was departing, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them; and they also said, ‘Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.’” Acts 1:10-11

“Does my life really matter? I don’t do anything very significant. Few people know me. I make a lot of mistakes. Why should I try so hard when it seems to count for so little?”

Such sentiment plagues us all at times. It is an overriding, deflating theme for some - dark moments of discouragement for others.

Nothing so dispels these feelings of haplessness and hopelessness as the second coming of Christ when He will reward the believer.

Since God judged your sin at the cross, condemning Christ in your stead, He is free to extend yet more of His grace to you when He judges the church. I Cor. 3:14; II Cor. 5:10

There is incredible motivation when you understand that everything you do and say will be acknowledged and in some manner rewarded by God Himself. Nothing escapes His eye. The smallest act of kindness, perhaps unknown by anyone else, counts for eternity. Everything is significant since it ultimately fits into God’s amazing scheme.

El Roi, the God who sees, values you and your deeds. Your worth is incalculable since He purchased you for Himself. Your work matters to Him since He will personally review and reward you at His return.
