We're Valuable Because of the Name!

I had the most interesting revelation when shopping for a pair of shoes....it was about my value and Christ's name. See if you agree. #BibleLoveNotes #Bible #Devotions

While shopping, I saw a pair of simple canvas shoes. They were the same quality as similar less-expensive footwear. But they had the name “Kate Spade” sewn on top and that made the price four times higher.

 It’s amazing that a name can increase the value of something so far beyond it’s worth.

Then I realized: I’m like those Kate Spade shoes!

You see, I was once a worthless sinner (Romans 3:12). Then Jesus marked me with His name. And my value increased far beyond my worth because His name is above all names (Philippians 2:9).

“And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit.” Ephesians 1:13

Next time you see something overpriced because it bears a particular name, realize the same is true of you if you love Jesus.

    I love this, Gail! Never thought about it that way but so true! I am going to share this with my husband, who is a pastor. He is always looking for good object lessons! Thanks so much for this teaching moment.

    This is the message that young girls should listen to when they struggle with self steam!

    This is such a great analogy and so true. We are one of a kind, aren't we? And that seal of His will never be removed or lost or marked down! :) Thanks so much for linking up to "Making Your Home Sing Monday!"
