The Hundred Dollar Bill

A crisp new one hundred dollar bill - how much is it worth?
Same bill, crumpled up - how much is it worth?
Crumpled bill, lying the the dirt, stepped on, repeatedly
- how much is it worth?
One Hundred dollars.
No matter the condition it is in - a hundred dollar bill is worth $100.

So too it is with us, no matter the condition we find ourselves in
- we are still worth our full face-value to God.

We all want to see ourselves as crisp, new bills.

Truth is...those bills are crisp and new because they haven't been used yet.
