God Made An Investment In You....When He See's You....Does He See Appreciation or Depreciation? Are You Failing To Recognize The Value Of Your Life?

There are many things you want to do.   There are many things you could do.   But what is it that God wants you to do?   What is it that He is asking of you?   Are you ignoring Him?   When you ignore someone....you refuse to acknowledge or you disregard them intentionally.    Have you ever been a situation where people ignored you?  Where they treated you as though you were not there?   Where they disregarded your presence?   To regard means to consider.....to think of.....or to respect.   

How do you think it makes God feel when you don't consider Him.....you don't think of Him.....and you don't respect Him?   When you fail to acknowledge His presence?   Remember, He said that He is ever present.  He is an omnipresent God.   Everywhere at the same time.    If He is omnipresent....then we are the ones who fail to acknowledge His presence.   

How is it that we ignore the one who sacrificed the most for us?   How is it that we throw love away?   We say we want to be loved.....but the love that God has given us and still gives....we throw away.   When you throw away something, you dispose of it.   Another definition of dispose of means to kill or destroy.    Isn't it funny how we take the things that have the greatest value and treat them with the least amount of care.   Sometimes we do this because something has been a part of our lives so long that we fail to remember or recognize its value.   The question today is ..... are we failing to recognize the price that was paid and the value that God has put on the life we are now living?

The value is in you .... because the price was paid for you.    So how can you take your life and treat it as though it has no value?   How can you abuse and misuse what God has paid the ultimate price for?   If you cash in all your assets and sell all that you have to go out and purchase one thing......what value would you put on the one thing you purchased?   If you took that one thing and gave it to someone else to take care of for you.....you entrusted it to them......yet they treated it as though it had no value......how would you feel?   Would you go and take it back?   What if you couldn't?   What if you made a promise that was bound by your word and you could not retrieve the thing you paid so dearly for?    How would it make you feel if every time you saw what you purchased.....it was being used for something unintended?  Something totally against what you believe and what you stand for?

How do you think God feels when He gave His all for you?   Is He pleased when He looks at you?   Is He pleased when He watches you throughout the day?  

When you purchase something....the value either appreciates or depreciates.    When God looks at your life....the life that He purchased through the blood of Jesus.....does He see an increase in the investment that He made in you or does He see a life that is depreciated.   A life diminished in value based on how its being lived.   

The one thing you have to understand....as long as you stay under the blood of Jesus.....God only sees the blood.   It is only when you step from under the blood covenant that "self evaluation" occurs or should I say "self valuation".    Valuation means the estimation of somethings worth.   We have to understand that we have no value outside of the blood of Jesus.    The purchase of our life was made solely through and by the blood of Jesus.

In the midst of all the trials that come with life, what do you do when you don’t know what to do?   Do you quit?   Do you give in?   Do you...
