The Worth Project Part One

Matthew 10:29-31
New Century Version

Two sparrows cost only a penny, but not even one of them can die without your Father's knowing it. God even knows how many hairs are on your head. So don't be afraid. You are worth much more than many sparrows.

How far removed has humankind come from these words of Jesus. Yet one of the basic human needs is to feel our own worth! I would say it is a basic human necessity to know our worth. 

There are so many mixed messages coming at us from birth. By the time we reach adulthood and awareness that we are lacking worth, we are plunged into either accepting our lack as truth (and thereby just coping) or a journey of healing. Both options are painful, but only one propels us to peace and confidence.

The goal of this project is to uncover what the meaning of human worth is, what it looks like, maybe even sounds like. Where does it come from? How do we find it?
