Great Value
Do you sometimes feel worthless and useless? Here is a story that may help you to understand your value to the Lord Jesus, and how He can use you in spite of weakness or past failure:
Many years ago it was announced in a summer gathering at Ocean Grove, USA, that a famous violinist would play on a violin that cost many thousands of dollars. Thousands of people gathered in the great auditorium. He rose and played so magnificently that the crowd broke into a storm of applause. Suddenly the violinist raised the instrument above his head and smashed it to bits. The audience was aghast, shocked into disbelief, until he explained that the violin was worth only a few dollars. He then took up the one that was worth thousands and played. He meant to show that violins do not make the music, it is the person that holds them.
Yes, God can use you, too. The Bible says: “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13).Let Him work in you and through you, and remember, you are of great value to Him.
