You are created in God’s image. This fact helps you to realize your own worth.
God had no physical body, so how can He say He created man in His own image?
Think about the attributes of God from His own description in Exodus 34:6-7: “I, Yahweh, am full of compassion, slow to anger, rich in faithfulness and truth, forgiving of rebellion, and wrongdoing.”
Your entire being should reflect the “image” of God. God had all the confidence in the world in your ability to be like Him. Have you ever heard someone say, ” I can’t help it; that’s just the way I am”? The person saying this usually expects others to accept any flaws or attitudes he/she might have as if there is no way to change.
Knowing God personally through Jesus Christ makes a valuable difference in your life; it changes you, and you become the “image of God” to all around you. You will then say with deep joy, “I just can’t help it that’s the way I am.”—and God smiles.
Have a blessed day!
