Favorite Lyric
I've guessed low all my life. Marked myself on clearance racks. Tried to discount who I am just to keep from looking back. Then Heaven shook His head at me and said, "That's not who you are."
The price was paid in blood for me. My worth was set by God alone, never by my scars.

Every day, people place price tags on themselves. Some measure their worth by success, appearance, income, relationships, or past mistakes. Others spend their lives believing they will never be enough. But God never asked us to estimate our value. He already declared it through the sacrifice of His Son.

I spent years trying to guess my worth, measuring my life by broken moments, old mistakes, and voices that never spoke for God. Every failure lowered the price. Every regret added another discount, until I believed the labels more than the One who created me.
Then Heaven revealed what no earthly scale could ever measure. The cross was never a bargain. Love never negotiated. Mercy never searched for a cheaper cost. Jesus paid the highest price because Heaven saw the value of every soul.
The nails became the receipt, and the empty tomb became the proof that payment had been accepted forever. My worth was never determined by my past, my performance, or my pain. It was established by the Savior who willingly gave everything for me.
Now I no longer wear the labels my past tried to give me. I wear the name Jesus died to give me. The world may keep changing its price tags, but Heaven's final price tag has never changed. It still reads: Paid in Full.
