If someone offered you a twenty-dollar bill, would you take it? What if that person wadded up the bill and threw it on the ground\u2014would you still want it? What if he stepped on it, kicked it, and even spit on it? Could you still go to the store and spend it?<\/p>\n
The answer is yes. That bill has value because of what it is, not because of how it looks, where it\u2019s been, or what it has been used for. A crisp, clean twenty-dollar bill is worth the same amount as an ugly, old, abused one.<\/p>\n
You may feel like you\u2019ve been stepped on, beat up, or kicked around. You may feel dirty, unworthy, or useless. But be encouraged by the twenty-dollar bill\u2014no matter what you\u2019ve been through, you still have value to God!<\/p>\n
