His Image, Our Value
Writing about people with disabilities, Paul refutes the lie that worth is determined by contribution. "The Truth, according to God, is that people are valuable for the simple fact that they are made in His image. Value is all in relation to Him, not my supposed contribution."
GTY's Free Weekly Expositional Bible Study

File this under "Practicing What You Preach" ;-)
