You are valuable because you exist. Not because of what you do or what you have done - but simply because you are.

The meaning of life. The wasted years of life. The poor choices of life. God answers the mess of life with one word: 'grace.'

You are saved, not because of what you do, but because of what Christ did. And you are special, not because of what you do, but because of whose you are. And you are his.
