📖 “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”

— Genesis 1:27 (NIV)

🟡 What does this mean?

This verse tells us that God created us in His image, which means we are special and valuable to Him.

We are not an accident or something insignificant.

God made us to resemble Him in love, kindness, truth, and purity.

Every person, no matter who they are, has immense value because they reflect something of God's heart.

🧠 Let's think for a moment

Have you ever thought that you are not important or that you have no purpose?

The truth is that God made you unique, with abilities and qualities that no one else has.

When you look in the mirror, you don’t just see your face… you see someone made in the image of the Creator of heaven and earth!

That means you can live to reflect His love to others.

🙌 What can we do today?

Treat others with respect, because everyone was created in the image of God

Remember that your worth does not depend on what others say, but on what God says about you

Use your words to encourage, not to hurt

Live in a way that shows God’s love

💬 Phrase to remember

👉 I am created in the image of God and I am very valuable to Him.

🙏 Final prayer

Lord, thank you for creating me in your image. Help me remember that my worth is in You and not in what others think. Teach me to treat everyone with respect and love, and to reflect your light in everything I do. Amen. 🙏
