A LIFE OF VALUE

SCRIPTURE: ‘For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich’ – 2 Corinthians 8:9.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Your value in life is determined by the value you add to other people’s lives.

A life of real value is not about what you can get but what you can give. Jesus Christ, our Lord and Master came to give. He gave until He gave His life. No wonder He is the most celebrated and valued personality to ever walk on the sands of time and eternity.

Your value in life is determined by the value you add to other people’s lives. When you enhance other people’s value, you enhance your own value. You will never feel valueless in life as long as you are helping other people to have value. You become your best in life when you are in the business of bringing out the best in the lives of others. Your joy and excitement level moves to higher levels when people begin to attribute their rise, worth, value and joy in life to your input and impact in their lives.

So, many people are trying to make a living until they forget to live their lives. Someone once said, ‘You make a living by what you get, but you make a life by what you give.’ It is important to know that quality of life (contributing to humanity, adding value, bringing out the best in people and showing people direction) is superior to standard of living (the personal comfort of life). Some people have high living standard (many cars, money, etc.) but a low quality of life (no joy, no peace, nobody being enhanced etc.) What a misery! Please, live a life of value and quality!

Remember this: your value in life is determined by the value you add to other people’s lives.

ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Determine to be more conscious of the quality of your life than your standard of living.
2. Be actively involved in the spiritual and material welfare of others.
