I’m a businesswoman by trade; CPA, MBA. I understand the “market” sets the value for tangible and intangible items. We may think we know the worth of our home, car, diamond mine, lol. However, until someone actually purchases the item, the real value is unknown. Only then has the market set the value.

As Christians, what signals our worth? What talent, skill, internal dialog measures our value? Sisters, daughters, wives, mothers, perhaps we use all these in setting our value. What contributes to our assessment of worth?

Family. One little word conjures so many emotions. From warm feelings of kindness to chaotic anger, and everything in between.

His forgiveness plants the desire in our hearts to be forgiven and to extend forgiveness to others. The enemy wants us to seethe in anger; Jesus says forgive (Mark 11:25). Let’s walk the path of forgiveness together, beginning with our sisters in Christ, our eternal family. Joy emanates from peace and forgiveness given to us and extended to others.

I have, on occasion, argued with God. Resisting His expectations, runs me adrift. We Debate with God, Run from God, Ignore God, and Fear the unknown until we finally Trust God. DRIFT.

Small areas of service are a sweet fragrance lifting up to God. Let’s shatter the barriers to DRIFT one by one. Like an army of ants, one crumb at a time, we all matter.
