Killing the Nerve

Killing the Nerve

"....no desire to be conscious of worthiness shall order the life..." George MacDonald

Worth is not measured by the objects of this world. It is not measured by what you own or who you have befriended. The value of your life is measured by WHO knows you. The GREAT I AM. Knowledge is a value beyond measure. "Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding: for the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold." Proverbs 3:13-14 Knowledge is of God. God gives us the knowledge we need. He gave us the living knowledge. The Living Waters live inside our hearts. Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is what gives these clay shells value! Does the box that carries the wedding ring have a greater value than it's passenger? Does the frame have a greater value than the famous artwork that it holds? I think NOT! Neither is the case with Jesus. He alone gives us value. He alone is worthy. We are not even worthy for Him to come live inside us. Yet, Jesus humbles himself to live in us and guide us. One creation cannot give another a sense of worth. Only the Master can do such. The quality of life can be improved by one another. The support we give one another, the love, the laughter, and everything else. One thing we cannot do is to give value to one another. We are looking in the wrong direction. Looking to the left and right, when we should be looking straight up. Any concept of being worthy must be dropped. Any questions are answered. When the Son of God comes to reside in your heart, how can we contemplate or worry about "our worth"? Our concept of worth is to be thrown out the window and out of our vocabulary. Be mindful(or mind full) of God. That is the only thing WORTH thinking or talking about.
