What am I Worth?

In the past few weeks, I've been shown by employers I'm worth $20, $25, $32, and $37 an hour, either because they paid or offered me that wage. I've also been told by my peers that all of those figures are too low, that I should accept no less than $55, and deserve up to $70, an hour for my writing skills and the strong background I bring to them. Who's right?

Actually, my worth is not determined by the marketplace. Long before I was born, long before any employer considered my worth, God decided I was worth the life of his one and only Son. Even as I struggle to grasp the magnitude of that, I accept that the One who created me knows my true value.
