Five Minute Friday – WORTH

Each Friday, Kate Motaung of “Five Minute Friday”, posts a prompt and encourages us to write for five minutes.

This week the theme is  WORTH.  (Check here to visit other writers)

 

When we think of worth,  we tend to think first in terms of buying things and money – what is this worth? How much will it cost?

Yet, in these turbulent times, it is the worth of people which should be our first concern. As Christ told us, over and over, loving others is a must.

Too often, hate and cruelty to others predominates. Fear and ignorance push people to racist acts. The news is full of killings and destruction all over the world..

If everyone could only see that every person has worth, is valuable, is a child of God, LOVE would dominate, not hate.

Yes, we are all worth so much. We need to acknowledge our own worth and celebrate the worth of everyone we meet. We may never know when we meet Jesus.
