Reflection

Do you know your worth?

You are priceless. None compare to you, my friend. You were bought with a price. His precious blood paid the price that everyone could be saved. Rejoice in that fact. It is the reason He came to this world and the reason for rejoicing during this season.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: John 1:12
