You're Worth Something to God

"Do you like dollies?" the little girl asked her houseguest.

"yes, very much," the man responded.

"Then I'll show you mine," was the reply.  Thereupon she presented one by one a whole family of dolls.

"And now tell me," the visitor asked, "which is your favorite doll?"

The child hesitated for a moment and said, "You're quite sure you like dollies, and will you please promise not to smile if I show you my favorite?"

The man solemnly promised, and the girl hurried from the room.  In a moment she returned with a tattered and dilapidated old doll.  Its hair had come off; its nose was broken; its sheeks were scratched; and arm and leg were missing.  "Well, well," said the visitor, "and why do you like this one best?"

"I love her most," said the little girl, "because if I didn't love her, no one else would."
