One of the most awesome truths in the Bible is that God made humankind in His Own Image. When we truly grasp what that means, it can have a huge impact on our well-being, especially our sense of worth. Never confuse value with purpose.
Our value does not change from the moment we are born as helpless babies, to the day we die. For our value comes from the fact that God created us in His image, PLUS Jesus went through ‘hell’ here on earth, so that we could finally be restored, transformed, into the people whom God originally intended us to be. Even more amazing than the restorations on the ‘Repair Shop’ on TV! Our sense of purpose will change according to our age and circumstances. Our sense of purpose will change according to our age and circumstances. God’s main purpose is to transform us, and the challenges of life are all part of that.
