You are PRICELESS to God. This is Part 1 of a post I am sharing for the month of September. God loves us so much, and He paid the price for us because of His love. I had gone to corporate prayer and healing school one morning and decided to go shopping for an item for the home. Once I was at the store, I asked God, “Can I purchase something personal”? I got the OK to do so. As I was looking for the home item, I ventured over into the clothing section, and I saw this top that was beautiful and bright, and I adored it. However, it was damaged with numerous pulls and snags and it was the only one left in the store. I picked it up and examined it further and thought, I can fix this and make it work. Then a thought came, you will not wear this because someone will notice the damage. Can you make this work? So I walked around in the store for a few minutes and decided to ask the cashier if I could get a discount because of the damage. She immediately said, “Yes, 75% off the marked down price”. I immediately said, “let’s do this”. I purchased the top and the other item for the home.
As soon as I got in the car, the Holy Spirit said, “Just like you loved that top with all its flaws and even damaged, you purchased it. Like that top, you didn’t think YOU were worth purchasing, but I did purchase you. I paid a PRICELESS PRICE for you! No Discounts and No Marked Downs. I paid the ULTIMATE PRICE! Yes, some even counted you out and thought, as you once thought, that you would never amount to anything. You even pondered, how could God love me with all my flaws and dysfunction and etc?” Especially growing up in a family where peace seemed so far away at times. Even in the best of homes you can still not be truly loved. But I made the ultimate sacrifice and gave my only Son for you (Romans 5:8). Why? Because of my love for you, just like you loved that top in its worst condition and was willing to buy it, I loved you UNCONDITIONALLY and bought you! Why? Because you are PRICELESS!”
God already had a plan for our lives before we were even born (Jeremiah 29:11-12). God had already worked His plans for our redemption, freedom, healing, wholeness, deliverance, and salvation through the shed blood of His Son, Jesus! You are PRICELESS!
I hope you enjoyed Part 1 of this encouraging post. Part 2 will be coming on September 16, 2022. Be blessed.
