Priceless in HIS eyes!
The meaning of bought -buy (bai) – present participle ˈbuying: past tense, past participle bought (boːt) – verb to get (something) by exchanging it for money. He has bought a car.
I truly could not find the word count for the word bought. However, it truly is a hidden treasure...
If I asked you today how much are you worth? Would you begin to start to calculate all the things you do on any given day? Would you or could you come up with an hourly rate time how many years you will walk on this earth? Are you aware that it has been calculated that a stay at home mom job is worth approximately $160,000 a year.. calculate that times a lifetime.. hmmm
So many moms feel that it is a beautiful but thankless job.. Do you ever wonder why as children we do not even think of the worth and value of the sacrifices made?? Until we become a parent we do not understand the true meaning of this love and sacrifices that are made on our behalf.
But what does the Bible say about this treasure of the word bought.. It truly is a selfless act did you know Jesus thinks you are priceless. There is no greater value He places on each one of His children. We can not even begin to understand the depth of His love and sacrifice. Unlike growing into the understanding of an earthly parent we will never be in the position to fully understand the complexity of giving up your life so the multitude of His children can have a life... And although many of His children try to understand we are a selfish lot...
Do we love Him with that type of sacrificing love? Do we even sacrifice our time just to spend time with Him? Or are there more important things to do... and we just try just to fit Him in when we have a few minutes to spare ... Just keep in mind He thinks we are priceless and even with all of our problems He bought us on the very day we opened our hearts! He did not wait until we were on sale!!! Because we are all His treasures!
I can only try each day to repay this gift of love that He openly poured into my heart !!! And for the sacrifice He made for me I hope to prove to Him it was not in vain ... and that I appreciate Him more and more each day!!! To me He is priceless there is no other Love in our world like Jesus!
It’s Him it’s always Him !!
1 Corinthians 6:20 “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which is God's.” King James Version (KJV)
13 Christ bought us with His blood and made us free from the Law. In that way, the Law could not punish us. Christ did this by carrying the load and by being punished instead of us. It is written, “Anyone who hangs on a cross is hated and punished.” 14 Because of the price Christ Jesus paid, the good things that came to Abraham might come to the people who are not Jews. And by putting our trust in Christ, we receive the Holy Spirit He has promised. Galatians 3:13-15
