I was having a conversation this week regarding someone's professional performance. Truthfully, their performance appears to be below standards with regard to follow through and customer service. The person I was having this conversation with said of the professional, "They're worthless!" I strongly disagreed, and stated why.
As a Jesus-follower, I believe we are all made in the image of God, as scripture teaches. That alone imbues each of us with a tremendous sense of worth. While someone's performance, in a certain area or in a particular instance, may be sub-par, that does NOT mean that the person themselves is worthless.
I'm trying to do a better job in my life of not just seeing people as worthwhile due to a set of attributes or character traits. Rather, I'm working to see the value of people simply because they are fellow human beings.
