value

The way we determine somethings value, is by seeing how much someone is willing to pay for it. To think that God the Father gave His only Son's life for us, should make us feel incredibly valuable. Besides, His opinion is the only one that really matters anyway.

We make time for what we value. The other day, I'm complaining to myself how I feel like I don't have enough time in the day to do what needs to be done and still remain balanced. It is a constant struggle for me. But as I thought about it, I realize that I make time for what I value. Even when I say "yes" to things I've been asked to do, but shouldn't have taken on. I broke that down: I didn't want to say "no" (I would enjoy it) but really didn't have the time. In essence I said, "I value not hurting your feelings or letting you down," more than I value everything else on my plate, including my family! Ouch...yeah it hurt, but it was true. For me, I'm a sucker for "opportunities," and must not put their value ahead of what is truly important. Am I alone in this?
