What's Your Self Worth

I have a lot of things I am thinking about right now...but the one I am wanting to get out of my head is dealing with self worth.
Christian or not, we are all created in God's image. If you take a second and really think about this fact it is almost unbelievable. Almost. Except it is in the Bible. There are a number of place where the Bible talks about how much God loves us and knows us...really knows us. He knows the number of hairs on our heads. Not one sparrow falls to the ground without God knowing...and yet we are all way more valuable to Him than any bird.
Where does your self worth come from? Too many people look to things of this earth...a boyfriend/girlfriend, good job, nice house/cars or the love of a husband/wife. None of these things are bad of themselves. But, if we let them gain too much value in our lives...that's when we get in trouble.
Our value should only be found in God's love for us. You are so important to the Creator of EVERYTHING that He sent His One and Only Son to die on a cross to pay the price for your sin. Check out John 3:16 if you don't believe me. This type of validation can only come from God alone. If you are looking any place else for your self worth...you will always be searching.
