God is the treasure.  We chase after rainbows and happy endings.  We look for the light at the end of the dark tunnel.  We search endlessly for something of value that we have lost. These strivings we have are innate in us because we are connected to the knowledge that in the end there is love.  We hold on and hope sometimes only in the deepest parts of our hearts wherein lies a recognition that there is value to our lives.  I know in the darkest moments of depression or addiction there was within me something that would not loosen me from the knowledge that there was some value in me.  I could not argue that God had no idea what was going on when I was created.  At the time I may have thought God abandoned me, but I could not dispute I must have been of value at some point.  I certainly spent a lot of valuable time focusing on me in the negative but the energetic focus was still on me.  Without even realizing it, I was connected to a sense of value of life just for the sake of life. Since learning to face my demons and walk the path in relationship with God, I am able to recognize not only the positive value of myself but the value of everyone and everything around me.  God does not create in vain.  There is value in every element that exists, good and bad.

My prayer for us is the courage to see value in our existence and thus the value of everyone and everything around us today.

If God places value on you, in what way do you dispute that in your life today?  Share in the comments.
