Speaking Truth in Love to God's Creation

It Was Very GOOD
"God saw all that He had made, and it was very good." Genesis 1:31
After the Creator of the universe finished making this earth, including human kind, He was pleased and said, it was very good. It was right in His eyes and had value. And He validated this creation of humankind with a pronouncement of goodness. He blessed it with His approval.
That makes me think that you are valuable. The God of this universe stamped His approval on you as having received His blessings. But, I think that you also received a seed, a substance, a measure of God's goodness when He created you.
I believe God took joy in you when you were created and He knew you had the potenial to reflect His glory, His goodness. I believe the value of Almighty God was placed in you at creation to identify you as His own, one born with purpose and validity.
If I am right, you have a purpose destined in you based on the validation God stamped you with at your creation. I invite you to stop evaluating yourself based on perforamce or the opinion of others and look at your value based on that image and goodness of God created in you.
The world does not know you. Only God knows who you are and what purpose you can fulfill. Look to Him to see your valve. Turn to Him to find your identity. Learn of Him to make a real difference in this live.
You are valuable. You were created good. Live out of your purpose and out of His love for you.
