A Life worth living.
We live in a culture that idolizes productivity, efficiency, and independence, often measuring a person by what he or she can do. These and other false standards are used to determine whether someone’s life is considered worth living. We may sometimes be tempted to believe that a person’s identity lies in what the world values. But God's love—individual, real, unchanging—is the true source of our identity. Because His love will never change, nothing can reduce our God-given dignity, and nothing can diminish the immeasurable worth of our lives.
We had an example this worth in our own community”
