The 20$ Bill

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. He picked it up, now  all 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.

The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we are but by  WHOSE WE ARE!
