It has become obvious some do not accept we have value to God.
We are the lost sheep
Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
Luke 15:4-7
The lost coin is similar and the prodigal son.
God loves us and we are His children gone astray.
This means we have value and are not irredeemable.
In our hearts we know God, we know love, we know hope, we just do not
know the how and the why.
Christ and salvation answers the how and the why.
