“The value of a life can only be estimated by its spiritual relationship to God.” ~ Oswald Chambers
How does a person measure the value of a life? Is it how many assets you acquired in your lifetime? Could it be by how charitable you have been with your resources? The number of children you brought into the world? Or maybe how long have you been married to the same person? Your relationship with God and what God does through you by dwelling inside you will determine the value of your life; it’s the only accurate measure. Remember the twelve disciples; they were fishermen, a tax collector, a zealot, a thief, etc. When their earthly lives came to an end, their stories would be told forever throughout the world. If you want your life to become a treasure to others, then immerse yourself in God’s eternal purpose. Become sold-out for the kingdom of God, and you’ll live a life beyond your wildest dreams.
