HIS-APPRAISAL

 

 

 Appraisal: an assessment or estimation of the worth, value, or quality of a person or thing

 

(Psalm 139:14) "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well."

 

          Have you ever had anything appraised? Jewelry, Real Estate, vehicles, antiques, etc., are among just a few things that are examined or assessed to determined its worth or value. Sometimes in order for a seller or owner to obtain the best price for what they are offering, it is necessary for its appraisal to be outstanding. This also mean that improvements, enhancements and sometimes additions to the original piece is added to increase the value for a better appraisal. When the appraisal is lower than the actual value or worth of the item, it is necessary for the seller or owner to make adjustments. All of this refers to materialistic appraisals.

          Let's deal with Self-Appraisal.  There are so many people living with and among us that feel hopeless, worthless, useless, unwanted, and don't see much value about themselves. So many negative things can cause one to feel like they are not worth the bother or lack the ability to be appraised. One word embedded within the word "APPRAISED" is "PRAISE: to express approval of (someone or something). If one would stop and think about the scripture posted, it will soon be realized that God didn't make anything that was worthless or useless. He took the time to carefully make and create with specific details something so wonderful that man cannot recreate! YOU!. Every aspect of the body, down to the tiniest microscopic cell, reveals that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. People can try to put a price tag or value on a life, but there is no dollar amount that can appraise a life given by God. Let us stop trying to self-appraise ourselves or others because it will never amount to His - Appraisal!
