value the un-valued


I blogged recently on 'honour the un-honourable' about my dad.  And I am about to see him next week!  All part of God's plan for me to build a relationship with him.

What I have also learnt recently is to value the un-valued.

I have had times in my life when I have been very valued by the world.  And recent times when I have not been.  Believe it or not I was quite a cool kid at school.  Other kids weren't.  I have always kinda been valued by people at work.

What the Lord has really done is opened my eyes to value those that other people don't value

Sadly, this has been shown up in the church area of my life...where it is easy to value those that are perceived to have value (like me).  Whereas the real untapped value is those that don't seem to have any value - yet I know that the Lord is busily pointing to us and yelling "those people...over there....use them!!"
