Success and Failure

[ 0 ] May 12, 2009 |

We are not the sum of our failures nor or we the product of our successes. Our worth is instead evaluated by the standard God has chosen, His death on the cross; (for God so loved the world He gave His only begotten son). We are each the value God has placed on us which is the only worth that counts, after all God is the creator and Christ is the Savior, we are the creation and the saved. In a world where value is decided by success and failure, God decides value in His love for us and simply asks for us to love in the same way. We can’t let our culture decide our value by its squirrely definition of success and failure. We are not the sum of our falures nor the sum of our successes, we people who God loves.
