Value of the Human Soul

Gary is holding a fake 1 million Euro bill. Now just imagine if it was real. What would you give for a million Euros? Would you give this nice Ross Castle pictured behind Gary for it? Would you give one of you eyes, ears, arms or legs? Our physical body is worth great value, more than a million Euros. What about your soul, how much is your soul worth? Jesus said "It is foolish to gain the whole world but loose your soul". Our souls are priceless. God puts more value on our souls that any thing else including Euros. Ireland had been hard and ministry is Ireland is very slow moving.

But, the other day a man came over to our house to tell Gary that he has "got his life straightened out with God". He wanted to tell Gary that if for nothing else God brought us here to reach him.

We have questioned if our time in Ireland has been worth all the time, energy, hastles, emotions and money and we think from a human point of view this is quite natural to do. But from God's perspective if one life is impacted it has been a valuable time because God puts great value on each and every soul coming to follow him and changing their life for ever.

Just think how much God loves you and how much each one of us has value in His eyes. It is kind of hard to get your head around the idea that we are worth so much, so go now and treat each other with such value.
