Value
God places amazingly high value on His human creations. It's in the Bible, Psalm 8:3-5, NIV. "When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place, what is man that You are mindful of him, the son of man that You care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor."
God values us—He can't get us off His mind. It's in the Bible, Psalm 139:17-18, TLB. "How precious it is, Lord, to realize that You are thinking about me constantly! I can't even count how many times a day Your thoughts turn towards me. And when I waken in the morning, You are still thinking of me!"
The most valuable thing we can possess is citizenship in God's kingdom. It's in the Bible, Matthew 13:44, TLB. "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure a man discovered in a field. In his excitement, he sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field—and get the treasure, too!"
The most important thing to value in one's life is ones eternal Life. It's in the Bible, Matthew 16:26, NIV. "What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?" Colossians 3:2, NIV says, "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things."
