It is moments like these when it is important to remember that our inherent value is not based on our accomplishments or successes. Our worth is found solely in the fact that we are beloved children of God, created in His image. Nothing we could ever do would make us more or less valuable in His eyes.

Ephesians 2:10 reminds us: "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."

I pray that we would see and value each other as the workmanship of Christ Jesus, created to love and serve Him. No test score can change that fact.

Blessings.
