Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his. Psalm 100:3

Gods dream for us begins to unfold when we start seeing ourselves through His eyes. In Gods eyes we are all extraordinarily special. The Bible says:
  • God made you in His image. You reflect the most Wonderful Being in the universe (Genesis 1:27).
  • You are a child of God (1 John 3:1).
  • You were created for Gods pleasure (Ephesians 1:4-6; Psalm 149:4).
  • You are unique. There is no one else like you. You are one of a kind (Psalm 139:13-14).
  • You are given gifts by God that are made just for you (1 Corinthians 12:4-6, 11).
  • God has called you to do what you do. Your calling from God is custom made, just for you and no one else. (Psalm 138:8; Ephesians 2:10).
  • God knows everything about you and He loves you just as you are (Psalm 139: 1-3).
  • God created you and God only creates great things (Genesis 1:31).
  • God knows your name. You belong to Him (Isaiah 43:1).
  • God loved you first (1 John 4:19).
Each morning when you get up, look in the mirror and say, I am unique... I am loved... I am Gods child. The Bible promises that nothing can separate you from Gods love (Romans 8:35-38). Your identity is firm in His love and in His image. What a beautiful praise!
Prayer
Thank you, Lord, for loving me and making me so special. Help me to believe it and live out Your dream for my life. Amen.
