IN GOD’S IMAGE

Image and likeness are something we hear a lot about today.

What image do you want projected? What does your brand say about you?

Your image and brand are concepts which distinguish you from all others.

Branding is the process of disseminating your brand name to create awareness.

Each brand has a unique trademark that can only be linked back to the creator.

The greater the impact on society, the greater the reputation of the brand.

The brand is advertised by its name, packaging, cost, history, and its reputation.

Life has been given for us to be here. Some have tried to eliminate us for years.

Mankind is a beautiful, unique, invaluable, creative, and impactful brand.

Simply put, You, are God’s crowning achievement!

Yet some of us spend an enormous amount of time struggling with self-worth.

We try to validate our worth through a job, home-life, education, relationships, finances, titles, and organizations.

Our lack of understanding of self-worth, which is fueled by our insecurity to prove that we are enough, is both exhausting and unnecessary. Not to mention futile.

Our accomplishments are not what assign value to our lives.

God didn’t commission 107 billion human statues of himself on earth for his glory.

He did so because he loves us and deems us worthy of continued procreation.

We are his most prized and celebrated creation.

Any maker will tell you to continue producing your most valuable brand.

And that is exactly what God has done for over 6 million years.

God is not worried about copyright infringement, no two of us are made alike.

Each of us in a one-of-a-kind, hand crafted, marvelous masterpiece.

Our worth is defined by our existence. I was worth creating, and I am worth life.

Society measures value by finances. God measures value by our unique design.

Your value is in that you are unlike anyone else. Unique on Purpose.

In God’s Image, doesn’t mean that we are God, but we’re created in his likeness.

Made in the image of God, does not mean that we are the image of God.

Just as the painting of a woman, is not a woman. It is a painting of her.

The woman was the subject that posed for the painting.

God was the subject, that posed for the image painting of you and me.

Our representation of God is more in the spiritual sense than in the natural sense.

We are like God in that we have characteristics like his intellect, will, and emotions.

This is what makes us so very valuable and sets us apart.

Mankind and God are alike in many ways in image and likeness.

God’s attributes are far greater than ours. Remember we are the likeness of him.

We were not created to be God, but rather to reflect God in the earth.

A spiritual reflection of God. A reflection of His Spirit.

Mirror images of his kindness, goodness, mercy, love, comfort, and forgiveness.

The image of God is not about what he has, but who he is.

In an age where we can be anything, lets strive to be kind.

Father, Creator, God, I am honored and humbled that you chose to make me in your image, thus giving me worth, because You made me.

I hope to reflect you in the earth. Allow me to see your image in others as well, so that I can treat them as you would with love and kindness.
