'unquestionable Worth'

Imagine what life would be like
if our worth were determine by man

if our mistakes were a barometer of our worth
our favour would run hot and cold
like a see-saw through each day

each breathe we took would be a struggle
the one thing we do without thinking
would be so difficult to achieve

but we've been blessed beyond our imagination 
because even in our darkest hour
even when we are down in the valley

God sees our worth
His Son chose to die for us
He declared; she is worth the sacrifice
He declared; he is worth the sacrifice

when in doubt,
when we feel unloved
we need to focus on the cross

God thought we were worth the sacrifice then

He still does; even today

Hi stranger!!! It's been awhile. :) This is a beautifully reflective piece. Moreso, it's a necessary one for the believers and the non-believers...

this is a beautifully spiritual poem. I like how you said something we hear again and again but in a "new" way. May you have a wonderful Easter. It's great to see you posting more regularly again.
