Is Your Value Up For Debate? Check This Non-crypto Currency Out

 



The Currency of Worth. . .

And the One That Can’t Be Cashed In, Right?

Cash was once everything. Flash a few bills, and doors opened. Then gold—shiny, scarce, and stashed in guarded vaults. Then diamonds—marketed as forever, but really just carbon under pressure. After that? Sapphire glass. Rare-earth metals. Things buried deep and dug up to signal status.

Now we’ve got Ethereum, Bitcoin, and coins with dogs on them. Somehow, they all scream: worth.

But let’s pause.

What Actually Makes Something Valuable?

Is it rarity? Popularity? Usefulness? Or is it just... perception?

We chase what sparkles. We invest in trends, hoping they’ll lift us up. We flex cars, clothes, gadgets, likes, followers—currencies that help us feel like we matter. We measure ourselves by them. Live by them. Judge others with them.

But there’s a catch:

All of them are temporary.

Gold can be stolen. Crypto can crash. Followers unfollow. Cool goes cold.

Even the “social currencies” we depend on—talent, influence, beauty, connection—they’re fragile too. They get old. They break. They burn out.

So what do we do when that happens?

We scramble. We post more. Work more. Prove more. Hustle until it hurts—hoping to be seen, liked, validated. Hoping someone, somewhere, will say: “You’re enough.”

But what if you didn’t have to earn that?

What If Your Value Wasn't Up For Debate?

Before stocks existed, before crypto was mined, before likes were a thing—your worth had already been settled.

And it wasn’t stamped on metal.
It was carved into flesh.

“See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.” —Isaiah 49:16

That’s not metaphor. That’s sacrifice.

It wasn’t written in pen or tattooed on skin—it was driven in with nails. Not as a branding. As a rescue.

Picture it: a Roman cross.
Splintered wood.
Hammer. Nails. Blood.
And your name, in the middle of all that.

“You were bought at a price.” —1 Corinthians 6:20

Not rented. Not leased. Bought.

Your Worth Is Not a Trend

You can’t outgrow it. You can’t ruin it. It doesn’t depend on your grades, your hustle, your feed, or your feed-back. The currency of heaven was spent—and you were the purchase.

That makes you:

  • Undeniable

  • Unshakeable

  • Unlosable

The world will try to sell you newer, shinier currencies of worth every day. It’ll tell you to upgrade, update, outperform. But those currencies fade. They always do.

You? You’re engraved.

Not liked.
Not followed.
Known. Chosen. Bought.

So here’s the real question:

What are you letting define your value—
and what would change if you believed your worth was already set in blood?

Loving Our Neighbor In A Divided World: Can We?

Image
  The Struggle to Find Unity in a Divided World In a world filled with division, many of us are worn out. The news, social media, even the people we love seem constantly at odds. From families divided by politics to friends disagreeing over social issues, our world feels splintered. It’s tempting to give up trying to bridge these divides – to stick to “our side” where it feels safer, where people share our beliefs. After all, reaching out to someone who disagrees with us isn’t easy; it’s uncomfortable, vulnerable. But maybe that very choice, the hard choice to love others even when we disagree, is exactly what our world needs right now. The Cost of Living for Ourselves When we focus only on our own interests, we risk losing what matters most. It’s easy to think, If everyone else is just looking out for themselves, why shouldn’t I? But that kind of thinking chips away at our integrity, our relationships, and our peace. Maybe you’ve felt it yourself – the quiet tug that says, This i...

Standing Firm in a World of Compromise

Image
In Daniel 1:12, we see a young man who refused to compromise his convictions, even when it would have been easy to do so. Daniel and his friends were taken from their homeland and placed in the king’s court, where they were offered luxurious food and wine. Yet, Daniel chose to remain faithful to God’s standards, requesting a diet of simple food and water. His decision was not based on rebellion, but on a deep desire to honor God above all else. Like Daniel, we live in a world that constantly pressures us to compromise—whether in our choices, values, or faith. Culture may tell us that success and status are worth any sacrifice, but Daniel’s story reminds us that true strength comes from unwavering faith. He knew that a life dedicated to God was far more valuable than the finest privileges the world could offer. Daniel’s faithfulness was rewarded. After ten days, he and his friends appeared healthier and stronger than those who indulged in the king’s food. More importantly, God granted t...

Laughter helps our neurological, physical, emotional, cognitive and social health and well-being in many ways. When you start to laugh, it doesn't just lighten your load mentally, but it actually induces physical changes in your body. In 2002, a study on humor therapy was conducted at Loma Linda University in California. The researchers had 52 men watch a comedy video for 1 hour. Blood samples were taken 10 minutes before watching, 30 minutes into the video, and 30 minutes after the video ended, and once more 12 hours later. The study found that just one hour of watching stand-up comedy boost the immune system by increasing the activity of natural killer cell, B-cells, T-cells and immunoglobulins in the test subjects.
