One newspaper said, “Susan Boyle is a Disney movie waiting to happen.” Well, maybe so. She was a contestant on England’s Britain’s Got Talent TV show. She was described as unglamorous, unfashionable, unknown, and when she walked on stage the judges just rolled their eyes. And then she sang, and she blew everyone away! A YouTube clip of her singing attracted over 40 million hits. Nobody realized the treasure she had inside her.

I’m Ron Hutchcraft, and Susan Boyle could be like a poster child for millions of people whose value has been grossly underestimated, and you might be one of them. You’ve been treated badly, maybe unappreciated, feeling like you’re not worth much. But those people obviously don’t know who you really are.

In the words of Bible, “We are God’s workmanship” (Ephesians 2:10 ). You are a masterpiece! You’re made by a God who created you in His image. You’re an original. Just look at your fingerprints! More importantly, God thought you were worth the life of His one and only Son. The Bible says this about Jesus: “He loved me and gave Himself for me” (Galatians 2:20 ). We don’t realize what we’re worth because we’re away from the One who gave us our worth–by our choice.

Our sinning has taken us into an orbit away from the God we were made by and made for. But Jesus’ dying on the cross was His incredible proof of how much you’re worth to Him, and how much He loves you. He died to get rid of the sin that keeps you from Him, because He doesn’t want to lose you. He’s waiting for you to grab His hand for yourself.

Many people have found help in beginning a relationship with Jesus at our website, and I want to invite you to go visit it today. It’s ALifeThatMatters.org.
