God sees the sparrow fall.
When Jesus said "You are of more value than many sparrows" it brought the question of our personal worth into a clear perspective.
I remember waiting for Pauline outside a Rodeo Drive boutique in Los Angeles.
(She was being escorted round by one of our wealthy California friends)
I was thinking of the astronomical price tags on the items in the window when my eye fell upon a dead sparrow on the curb side.
Then the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said:
"The true value is in the man not the clothes he wears"
Think of that: a dead sparrow on the sidewalk outside the richest clothing store in America, and a lesson for life.
Take heart. This year you may have to shop from Goodwill. If you do, remember that your true value is the price tag that God puts on YOU, not on the dress or suit you may be buying.
Jubilate.

P.S. I've had some great bargains from Goodwill. One of my favourite places.
