I’ve called your name. You’re mine.
—Isaiah 43:1
I have a feeling that you underestimate your worth. Measure your value by these two things: rarity and ownership.
Rarity. God chose you before the creation of the world (Eph 1:4). Then, at a point in time, he made you—just one of you. There are no duplicates, no copies. You are an original, a rarity.
Ownership. God bought you with the blood of Jesus (Eph 1:7). You belong to him.
Do you feel that a person of wealth is worth more than you and that a person of unusual talent is more valuable than you? Don’t!
Your worth is not determined by how you compare with others but by rarity and ownership. You are a rare treasure because you are an original. And you are priceless because you belong to God.
God has no one else like you.
