How to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior
Value of a $20 Bill
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up.
He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air.
"Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.
"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20."
"Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled and ground into
the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our
way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened
or what will happen, you will never lose your value: dirty or clean, crumpled
or finely creased, you are still priceless to God and those who love you.
The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or whom we know, but by
WHO WE ARE. You are special - Don't ever forget it. Count your Blessings,
not your problems."
