I hope you enjoyed Part 1 of this encouraging post. If you have not read it you can find it here. Did you know you were brought with a price; the blood of Jesus. Let’s continue with Part 2 of Priceless. So, as He redeemed me (and He’s still molding & shaping me more into His likeness) from a life of sin, He’s made all things new as if I had never sinned or fell short of the Glory of God. He wiped away all the sin, shame, and hurt and there’s no residue of sin or damage.
Now, my shirt isn’t totally perfect because of the mending I did. Neither are we perfect, but striving for perfection (Philippians 3:12). Guess what, I still love that shirt just like God still loves us in our imperfections. His love for us is far greater than we can even imagine! Never count someone out no matter how messed up their lives seems. Because as long as they have breath in their bodies, there’s hope. Above all GOD LOVES US ALL! He doesn’t like all of our ways/flaws, but He Loves US and there’s HOPE IN GOD! You just do your part, spend time with God and walk in love, mercy, and grace and let the love of God rule in every 
situation and conversation. You will see the love of God transform them like it did in us.
Back to the shirt; you can barely see the damage in the shirt and the snags are all gone. I had to work at it. The Blood of Jesus has totally wiped away every stain of sin, snags, and damages in our lives and we don’t have to work at it! Just ask for forgiveness and invite Jesus into your heart and ask Him to be Lord over your life. Now, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus! (Romans 8:1) God will always use various situations to teach us and share wisdom, even in the most insignificant thing. We need to stop long enough to hear what God is saying. He’s always speaking, but are we always listening. There’s hope for everyone, even though you may not feel like anyone cares and you’re the only one left out there and others didn’t think you were worth anything. But like that shirt, the only one left and ruined, but I loved it enough to take it with me, even in the state it was in at that moment. How much more is Jesus reaching out to us at all times with His unconditional, loving arms stretched wide open, willing to receive us just as we are at any time, any place, at any cost! If you or I were the only one, He still would have sent His only Son, Jesus, to redeem us. As the scripture states in Luke 15:4, if you had a hundred sheep and one was lost, you would leave the ninety-nine to go after the one. We are God’s handiwork, He created us in Christ Jesus…(Ephesians 2:10).
Let the love of God heal and mend your brokenness, pain, loneliness, and your heart. He is the healer/mender of the broken hearted (Psalm 147:3). Be open for the teachable moments from the Holy Spirit. Today really blessed me and I had to stop and take a moment to listen to the Holy Spirit! SALAH! Remember you are PRICELESS to God.
I hope you enjoyed these two posts on being PRICELESS to God. Keep this in the forefront of your mind. May God continually bless your comings and goings.
