Made in the Image of God

When God created YOU and Me—He created us to love Him and to learn to love others. You are His amazing creation! He made YOU special– absolutely unique—one of a kind—no one else like YOU! YOU were created to be special! As a matter of fact—there’s no other girl like YOU. Everything about YOU God put together—on purpose—your eye color, hair color, bone structure, the way you think and learn, and all those special talents you have. He did a good job when He made YOU!

After God created the heavens and the earth and filled it with beauty – He created man – the Bible says He created you and me in His own image. God wrote in Genesis 1:27 “So, God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him, male and female He created them.” There’s nothing else in all the earth that’s been created by God that is IN HIS IMAGE. How special is that!

Do you know that you are the most awesome work of God’s hand? Made in His image, above His creation and all created beings, you are the crown of His creation! Unlike the animals, humans beings made in His Image are morally responsible beings. We have capacity to choose deliberately, to think and love deeply, to create awesomely, to be in intimate relationship with Him and others, to rule, reflect, remember and resolve conflict.

Get this, in you, is the very image of God. Wow! No matter how messed up or insecure a girl might feel and no matter what her self-image is, SHE have a God image because He designed her. No matter whether she thinks she’s not pretty or not smart - God totally loves her and thinks she’s special. He loves her so much that He made a plan for her to join His family and have a special, one-on-one relationship with just Him.

He wants to take all the messed up parts and turn them around. See, when a girl invites Jesus into her life to take over, she enters into a personal relationship with God as His darling daughter. Jesus has so much for us. He said, “I came that they may have life and have it to the max.” Until we get to know our heavenly DAD, we don’t really live the ultimate life.
