Your season doesn’t change your value. Nothing can change your worth. I love to paint pictures for people with my words, but right now I actually want to talk about a painted picture, the Mona Lisa.
There is so much value in the Mona Lisa. I tried to research the worth of the painting, and it is infinite; there’s no number that can truly amount to its worth. It sits in a perfectly secure place in a museum. But if you were to take that same infinite-valued Mona Lisa painting out of the museum and place it in a broken-down shack in the middle of nowhere, that wouldn’t change the value. Whether it’s in the museum or in a shack, its value stays the same.
That’s also you! You are God’s masterpiece (see Ephesians 2:10). You might go through difficult trials in life or situations you can’t fathom or explain, but it doesn’t change your worth or value in God’s eyes. The sacrifice has already been made. Jesus has already died the death. Your value is in place, and it cannot be stripped away from you or changed by what you do.
You may go through the difficult seasons. One day life seems so amazing and great. You feel like you’re in the museum of glory and everyone is looking at you in amazement, celebrating you and loving your life. Other days you feel like you’re in the shack, all alone with no one seeing you. You feel like you don’t matter. But even in that moment your value remains. You are precious. You are called. You are anointed for great things. You are royalty. You carry infinite value.
