John 1:22 Then they said to him, “Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?”

John 1:23 He said, “I am A VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, ‘MAKE STRAIGHT THE WAY OF THE LORD,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.”

Welcome To The Light-Washed Path,

There are so many Christians holding onto their faith in Jesus but without any sense of personal value. It’’s so sad – like a marriage without romance. Without a sense of value, every trial seems like a personal rejection. Life’’s thread of disappointments just seems to confirm the feelings of insignificance. Without a revelation of your value, the thought of being or doing anything remotely great or worthwhile seems like an unattainable ideal. Everything seems more important than you. It’’s painful to press ahead everyday when you’’re dragging around the feeling that the world would experience no loss without you. And yet there are many Christians who, despite what they know in their head, feel this way in the secret recesses of their hearts. It’’s more than a crying shame; it’’s a crippling disease of faith. For how can anyone arise with a “Voice” if they have no sense of Value? Their words – regardless of how accurate or truthful – will fall powerless to the ground, because they are spoken from a heart of insignificance. To overthrow the power of the Gospel, Satan doesn’’t have to lure believers into false beliefs; he simply isolates them with thoughts of unimportance.

But a revelation of our personal value is at the foundation of what Jesus gives to us. Upon it He develops our vision and our “voice”. Value is exactly what He seeks to instill within us, with proclamations such as:

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Luke 12:6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

Luke 12:7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Luke 7:28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

As simply as I can state this, the point must be nailed down:

God most definitely has a profound interest in you knowing how valuable you are to Him.

Tomorrow I will tell you how to capture the revelation of your value.

Stay On The Path!
