It changes everything when you understand who you truthfully are. Not who the world says you are, but rather who God says you are: thoughtfully and carefully crafted, valued and loved, intended for eternal life in the image of your Maker.
Moses writes, “God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” (Genesis 1:27)
Lest we should miss the point, the word “created” is repeated three
times in reference to the man and woman. God wants us to understand He
created us; we were not the result of random chance. (James Trent)
