I have a confession to make...I love storage auction shows! I am so intrigued by rare antiques and how they bring beauty and value to a home or space. Knick-knacks, on the other hand, may be beautiful but they hold no worth outside of the manufacturer's retail price.
Have you ever wondered what makes an antique so valuable? In the "age of knock-offs", the depth of an antique is housed in its history. It's amazing how collectors nurture and carefully handle an antique, even sometimes using white gloves, but the aged dents and markings or "scars" of the item are left alone because they represent the labor that this beautiful piece has contributed to time.
The anointing that is on your life should be viewed and treated the same way. What is your gift and are you expressing it in a way that brings honor and beauty to God and your family? The best parts of you are the scars of your heart. The experiences that brought them are what makes you the beautiful antique you are today.
You are necessary, you are valuable and you are definitely NOT a knock-off. You are the original you! Know your worth. God does and He is the collector and creator of beautiful things. Be blessed.
I like this, very encouraging words.The devil can trick you into thinking you aren't worth anything to yourself or to GOD, and that is a lie from the pit of hell..The old adage goes, I know I am somebody, because GOD don't make no junk..
