Ephesians 1:18
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,
Matthew 13:23
But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”
Proverbs 28:5
Evildoers do not understand what is right, but those who seek the Lord understand it fully.
Although Omnipotent God’s creation is so precious, it seems just ordinary to those who consider it ordinary. Thus, people give average thanks and only rejoice a little in their lives. You have no idea how valuable things are unless God and the Holy Spirit open the eyes of your heart and help you to realize and see.
In the thousand-year history, God fulfills His final Purpose for creating the heavens and the earth. Everyone should open the eyes of their heart and see, realize, treat each other valuably, and truly live valuable lives with the Trinity following the Purpose of Creation.
Pray to God in Order to Realize the Value of People
People were created valuably in the image and likeness of God, but if you consider them to be ordinary and interact with them in that way, you will only treat them in an ordinary way. If you treat people only mediocrely, you will likely only give mediocre thanksgiving to God. As a result, your body and spirit will also develop and transform in a mediocre way. You will never know the value of a person unless God opens the eyes of your heart and helps you to realize. Therefore, you need to ask God to open the eyes of your heart so that you can realize. God needs to help you to realize. That’s the only way for you to know about someone fully and to know how valuable they are.
Before interacting with someone, you should ask God to learn more about them and record their good points. Each person has dozens of good things that they are born with, and they also have dozens of good things that they have realized and developed in themselves.
How to Value Yourself and Other People
You should first note down the good things about yourself. And then you can write down one by one good things about other people when God opens the door of your heart to make you realize. Then you will know them that much more clearly.
If you write down the things that you are good at, then you will know their value. After that, you need to also treat people considering their good points rather than their weaknesses.
Realize that You Are a Valuable Artwork and Develop Yourself
Even if God helps you to realize that a tree is valuable, you have to get rid of the weeds and develop it. Then it will be noticeable as a valuable artwork tree. Likewise, if you make and develop yourself by listening to the Word, then God will also work with you to develop yourself. Then you will shine even more as a valuable artwork.
You need to ask God to open the eyes of your heart so that you can deeply realize that you are valuable. Likewise, everyone is valuable in their own individual way.
Trees too. When they are young, they are not worth much as artworks. But when you fertilize them and develop them into certain shapes, then their trunks will grow that way and they will become valuable artwork trees. The same goes for people.
People who were once young in faith, grew and polished and developed themselves by listening to the Word. They became valuable artworks. Therefore, don’t see them as you did in the past, but as much as they have developed themselves, realize what is different and see them differently. They are truly different. When they grew up, they listened to God’s Word, realized on their own, fixed what was wrong, and developed themselves.
Nature too. The more you value nature, the more valuable it actually becomes. The same goes for people too. Open the eyes of your heart to see the value in both the people whom God created and yourself, and treat them and yourself valuably. Then you will see God as valuable and treat Him appropriately; you will not forget His value, and you’ll be able to live with Him.
Each one of you is truly valuable within God. Trees that you raise from when they are young become rare kinds of trees. People may become successful by doing business, but there are so many people who became successful by raising their children well. You need to realize that you are valuable. Then from then on, you will be shocked and will diligently develop yourself.
Cheetahs are cute when they are little. But when they grow up, they run and fly as the fastest running felines. They are elegant, beautiful, and mysterious animals. They hunt and catch their prey well. Likewise, when you grow well in faith, you will live a great life as does a cheetah. Give thanks to the Holy Trinity who open the eyes of your heart and help you to realize valuable things. Love Them and realize that God has been raising you throughout your life, develop yourself well, care for yourself, and be used valuably.
