Now from those recognized as important (what they really were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism) — they added nothing to me. Galatians 2:6 HCSB
In writing to the Galatians, Paul reminds them that social status, wealth, looks, anything that society places value on is worthless to God. God is the one that determines value. Even more hitting, it is not and cannot be earned. All our value is the result of the gift of God.
The sacrifice of Jesus, the gift of love, being called into His service. These are the things of value.
I have trouble with this. I have my own internal scorecard. Unfortunately, if I'm honest, there is a lot of worldly looking categories at the top. What about your scorecard? What's on it? What things do you wish to be different to feel self-worth?
