It's easy to fall into a mentality of worthlessness in our world where great wealth and fame are the thing that is most valued. Our sense of worth is somehow bundled up inside this world and if you're not a mega star you're a nobody, not really worth anything. In the big picture of things how can we be worth anything with so many people on the planet. Seems like it's just the amount of money or possessions you have that make you worth something. But the reality the Bible teaches us is that we are so valuable to God that He was willing to sacrifice His Son for us so that we could live with Him for eternity. He cares about us so much that he planned out how we look, how long we are to live on earth, and how we are to be the most fulfilled. All of it lies before us, waiting for us to grasp it!
We are in fact very valuable to God! His plan revolves around our hearts and brings great Joy to our very soul. The fact that we have a soul makes us very valuable to God because He created it/us with a purpose. It also makes us very valuable to Satan the enemy who wants to have our souls separated from God for eternity. Oh, yes, I would say we are very valuable to God worth so much more than any earthly possessions. We are worthy to be called sons of God, the children of God. He made us! This year I know I'm worthy because God has made me and I proclaim His lordship over me in this psalm that I wrote at a low point in my life. It has helped me in times of feeling worthless so that I can fulfill my chief purpose; to glorify God and enjoy Him forever!♾️♥️

A PSALM BY RICK FAUCHER
As surely as You have created me
All my devotion is given to You
Before You knit me together oh Lord
By the power of Your mighty hand
Concern was given to the small things
Caution was used to fashion me
Detail was shown in every decision
Determined You were to bring me forth
Everything was done with purpose
Each aspect of my being thought out
Forever I was made to praise You
From Your hand I have been given life
Gladly I will call myself Yours oh God
Giving back to You what You have made
Heartily I will serve You my Lord
How excellent are all Your ways
In my coming and going You lead me
I love You more than life itself
Joined with You by Your Spirit
Joy fills my heart and soul
Keep me in the palm of Your hand
Know my love for You is unceasing
Let Your praises be found on my lips
Like the sand on a thousand seashores
May You be lifted up and exalted
Making all of creation bend their knee
Nothing can compare to You oh Lord
No one can stand against You and thrive
Only Your ways are perfect and true
Over and over You have proven it so
Powerful and just is Your right hand
Pulling down the haughty and proud
Quickly You bring an end to mockers
Quieted they dwell in the grave tormented
Ready to forgive those that turn to You
Rescuing them from eternal doom
Salvation has come from You alone
Sending Your son to completely atone
Together with Him we will see You
Taking Your grace eternally home
Unlocking Your mercy You save us
Unmerited favor for us all
Victorious over our sinfulness
Very willing to give us Your Son
Worthy of all honor and glory
Without end Your love never fails
Xylophone and harps will extol You
Xerox cannot duplicate You
You are the beginning and the end
Yesterday and forever the same
Zealous to save those You've chosen
Zapping the enemy You are victorious!
