VAL-YOU

I knew a guy with a valuable book collection. I remember when I was told that his time was limited due to an illness. At that moment, there was not a book collection in the world that felt of much worth to me.
 
What makes anything valuable in this life? Is it not the love that goes into it? This love becomes 'value' and comes back to the lover. When you cease to love it - or cease to be - its value ceases. I think this is the haunting mystery of a derelict mansion. Deep, deep down we wonder what 'love' was at work through the corridors, what people were sacrificed for these ruins. And deeper down, we wonder what we are loving, living, and losing on the way...
 
'God is love.' (1 John 4:8) That love made you in his image (Gen 1:27), and pours through you back to himself. You are deeply valuable. This Love, this God, became man and walked with us, up to us, and calls us through His own 'door' to salvation. (John 10:9)
 
'Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.' (Matthew 6:21)
