What is your worth?

So how did you do for your recent test?
Managed to get your A's or was it another disappointing event in your life with no better than a D, S or even fail?

Remember your primary 4 streaming, the first time you went through your first selection exercise. Was it the maths, english or science exam you had to take to qualify for EM 1, 2 or 3?

Remember your sec 2 streaming when you sat through your exams and chose the subject combination you wanted to take. Isn't it interesting how the best ranked class happened to have almost all the top students while the other classes were classified as not so good?

You were ranked from sec 1 to sec 4 and even in Junior Colleges and Poly you were ranked with A's and B's and have your cumulative GPA da da da.. It's really not any different when you are university. The ranking still works. You have your degree of different honours and the Dean's list.

Is that our worth?

Maybe to make things much more easier to handle and calculate and sometimes just reduce human beings to numbers, those ranking do help in the working world. But is that how we are measured in God's Kingdom? Amazingly, the concept is reversed. The word of God says,

"For he who is least and lowliest among you all--he is [the one who is truly] great." Luke 9:48(AMP)

Our ranking with the classes do come with certain implications. People either expect a certain standard from us or we can be of worth no expectations at all. I personally have fallen short of lecturer's expectation and disappointment is obvious from their words. In these cases our worth is dependent on our rank/result.

But in cases where God is involved, our worth is not measured in those ways. Our worth is not measured at all!!! It is the worth of Christ on the cross! And that cant be measured.

If you're down, don't be. Remember your worth:D

If you're proud, don't be. Remember your righteousness in this world is like filthy rags. Remember only your worth in God.
