Dreaming of future value

Fill in the blank: when I  _____________ I will be more valuable.

I think there is a common illusion {certainly one I’ve fallen prey to} that one can attain a higher standard of value by achieving some goal.  Because let’s face it, we all have issues! We know our own sin intimately and therefore see the ways we ought to change. 

 But here’s something heartening: you can never be more or less valuable to God than you already are.

Proof:

“But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions – it is by grave you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast.” – Ephesians 2:4-9
