Worth

June 19, 2020 By Annette1 8 Comments

Click here to go to my disclosure policy.

I saw the word prompt from Miss Kate last night, and as I did the bunny chores this morning I considered it.  Worth, such a loaded word for many. This makes it an excellent word prompt don’t you think?  

worth

How do you measure worth?
Coin?
Social status?
Power?
Connectiveness?
People following you?
Positions held?
Social media?
Attention from those that be?

Worth can be measured
in countless ways.
As many stars are in the sky
Can worth be measured.

And yet
Worth is meaningless.

It is so easily discounted
Unless it matters to
The one you speak with.

Yet God tells us this
are we not worth more
than the sparrows?
than the flowers of the field?

So why do we concern
ourselves
with our worth?

What does it matter?
If in the eyes of some you are
baggage?

Does your wife love you?
Does she wear her
Pride for you full well?

Does your husband
Mind you full well?
Caring for your opinion
and how others see his beloved?

Do your children rejoice
(yes I know)
That you are their mom?
Glad that they are yours
and no others?

Do you go about your
business
with honour and integrity.
Giving to God what is his due?

Then consider this
You are worth more
than sparrows or flowers
And God cares for them too.

Imagine how much more worth
You hold
to HIM.

And concern yourself not
with
Worth.

worth more than flowers

Matthew 6:28

And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,

Luke 12:7

Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Compromise Spelled Out
How Can It Be?

    Annette, I love that you pointed out Jesus’ words that we are worth more than many sparrows. And that any worthiness we might hold in the eyes of others pales in comparison to our value in the eyes of God. It’s good to be reminded of that.

    Thank you. My thoughts landed on the same verse but a slightly different take. It is so easy to measure ourselves against the wrong things and I found your poetic list helpful.

    Annette, this is beautiful. Thank you.

    This is for you…

    Worth is a bunny
    safe in your arms,
    where love, not money
    keeps it from harm.

    I love this. Sparrows nest in our garden and we have many they always remind me of this. 😍 FMF #18
