Every year, millions and millions of snowflakes fall from the sky to cover the ground and make the landscape beautiful. Of course, within a short period of time they will melt and fade from memory. And even though their “lifespan” is so very short, every snowflake is remarkably unique and therefore valuable…
…the snowflake couldn’t have done anything to contribute to its value. We know that each of the gazillions of snowflakes is significant because a master Designer took time to make each one absolutely unique. “Experts” say that no two snowflakes have ever been exactly the same. Ever. Incredible, isn’t it? The fact that God took pains to give each one a unique crystal structure all its own gives that snowflake intrinsic value. Again, there is nothing any snowflake can do to add or detract from that value. It comes from a source completely outside itself.
Likewise, we are valuable because of the intrinsic worth that comes from being designed by, enjoyed by, and given purpose by the Creator.

When life gets difficult or people treat you nasty or you make a mistake that sticks with you, it is easy to forget your value. But when that happens, remember that God created you remarkable unique – and you have intrinsic worth that comes from a source completely outside of yourself.
You are loved by the Creator who shaped and fashioned you, and therefore, you are so very valuable.
Always remember that.
