The Value of You

I have no worth, I have no value, there is nothing important or needed about me.

Too many people have said this about themselves, me included!

We have to keep things in perspective.

I didn’t bake you a birthday cake because it had no value, was nothing important or unneeded…It was baked with a plan in mind to help you have a happy birthday!

The all important toilet paper was not made because there was no value, nothing important or unneeded. We could all do without it….just use a leaf like our forefathers did!

Would I say the YMCA where many work out has no value or worth, it’s not important or needed? We could just run up and down the stairs 15 times a day or walk around the block on a below zero day for 2 miles.

These ideas are crazy because we have seen the value of what they provide and how they improve our lives!

You were not put on this earth as someone with no value, not needed or unimportant. Every single person is needed. Every single one needs to bring their best skills, talents and abilities to the front, to benefit not only themselves, but others.

We’ve got to give up all this unworthiness stuff and start functioning at a higher level.

There are all kinds of needs in the world…even right where you live, and you’ve got what it takes to help at least one of them.

Everything God placed on the earth has value and is needed…you are highest on His list!

Begin to truly value yourself and see what happens.

One Leaf

A tree needs more than one leaf.

“There’s no point in me doing that! Someone else is already doing it.”

“There’s no point in me making that someone else has already made it.”

“There’s no point in me saying that, writing that…someone else has already done it.”

Why is my leaf needed when there already is another leaf !?!

How many of us like to sit under a tree with only one leaf on a hot summer day? What if it had one great big leaf? Would that be better?

Every leaf is needed, no matter what its size.

The more leaves, the more fresh oxygen is produced, the more transpiration of moisture to keep more people cool.

What if there was only one gas station per city, or one grocery store per city or one coffee shop per city, one park…..They would be crowded and people couldn’t comfortably get in to get what they need…probably wouldn’t have the selection they wanted either.

Don’t despise your leaf!

Shine it up, hang it up and get busy providing what only your leaf can do!!

Everybody’s leaf is needed!!!
