So
we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be
afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” Hebrews 13:6
(KJV)
A
well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill.
In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands
started going up.
He
said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let
me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up.
He
then asked, "Who still wants it?"
Still
the hands were up in the air.
"Well,"
he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the
ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He
picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants
it?" Still the hands went into the air.
"My
friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what
I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease
in value. It was still worth $20.
Many
times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the
dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our
way.
We
feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or
what will happen, you will never lose your value. You are special -
Don't ever forget it!
