There will be times when you will make horrible mistakes with yourself, in your life, in which you will be judged foolish, evil, or bad intentioned by others. Some may even say that you were a mistake of God's creation.
You could be pointed out as inferior, evil, valueless, a mistake of life by people who disapprove of you, for some reason, or other.
It could have been done to you already, only once, many times, maybe even too many to count. You could be pointed out as a mongrel, a bastard, worthless, human excrement, a mistake of humanity, a disgrace to society, a black sheep of your family, any bad title that anyone else could imagine saying to you for any reason at all.
Let's say you've faced disapproval throughout your whole life from the time that you were an infant. Let's say that's all you know. Let's say you were kicked out of your home and face an unknowable, hostile world.
With those horrible, unfair labels, you've been raised being exposed to throughout your life, how do you judge yourself, how do you measure and weigh your own worth fairly, when all you know is all this bad stuff you've been told about yourself?
The truth about your worth as a human being is very simple and blunt. You are in no condition at all to judge your own worth at any stage of your life, no matter whether all of humanity judges you as almost a god — or whether the rock bottom of all of the human societies are above you.
Guess what! No one at all — except Jesus Christ —is qualified to judge you or set your level of human worth in life.
On what information is based the truthfulness of this last statement, this last paragraph so far?
"The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;"
The passage from the Bible's New Testament Book of Matthew, chapter 13: verse 41 explains what this has to do with you and your worth as a human being.
Where in the Bible does it then say that Jesus Christ will send out human society's standards value enforcers or regular human people, no more or less than you yourself to gather out of God's Kingdom all things that offend and them which do iniquity?
Nowhere — He's sending out his angels and not people, not parents, cousins, aunts and uncles, guardians, groups, committees, police officers, lawyers, bureaucrats, inspectors, judges, bailiffs, correctional officers, clerks, etc. to that task.
There are rightful places and tasks that must be done by all of these people. Each of these has their rightful purpose and their own values to enforce. However, passing judgments on the worth of other people and condemning them is not among those.
