What
you're looking at is obviously not real money to hold.
But there are many counterfeits in life that so closely
resemble the real thing it's easy to be fooled:
COUNTERFEIT FRIENDS who only want to use you
COUNTERFEIT HAPPINESS in empty, sinful pleasures
COUNTERFEIT POWER in dangerous occult practices
COUNTERFEIT RELIGIONS that exalt the works of man and not the works of God
Do you want the real thing or a counterfeit? Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Right now you can put your life and future in the hands of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He's the "Real Thing."
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 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 in God's eyes.
To Him, dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to Him.
Psalm 17.8 states that God will keep us, "as the apple of His eye."
THOUGHT: The worth of our lives come not in what we do or who we are but by WHOSE WE ARE!
You are special - Don't ever forget it!
Please Pass this on to everyone in your e-mail address book. You will never know the lives it touches, the hurting
hearts it speaks to, or the hope that it can bring!
