The weekly Five Minute Friday word prompt for this week is “worth.”
I can’t breathe, he uttered as a knee was on his neck. A supposed counterfeit bill was the accusation. Wasn’t his life worth more than those $20?
A police officer in Grand Forks, ND goes into a scene where backup had already been called. He bursts in to help his fellow officer…Officer Holte shot and killed leaving behind his wife and young son. Another life of worth taken too soon.
Have we lost the sanctity of life? Are we too power hungry? Isn’t the worth of humanity more than the divisions that occur in our world? Yes, all lives matter. But those lives only truly matter when black lives, LGTBQ lives, etc all matter too.
I’m learning and listening. I’m fighting for the words of Micah 6:8 to be embodied: “to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with our God.”
Our worth is as children of God. Our worth is in who we are created to be. Our worth is more than power or privilege. Our worth is that we all are worthy of Gods love.
Thank you for your post. It is critical that we know and live out the truth that, “Our worth is as children of God.” May we see as He sees and love as He loves. Visiting from FMF.
Yes and Amen!
Yes, it’s so important to remember that each of us has incredible worth to God, and to learn to treat people in that way, especially those who may not have always been treated like they have that worth.
Amen!
I’m praying that we recognize the worth in the eyes we look into.
Yes!!
