Scripture of the Day

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” - Genesis 1:27 (ESV)

Before there were nations, uniforms, titles, or accomplishments… there was this.

Creation.

And on that day, God did something different with humanity than with anything else He made.

He didn’t say we were just “good.”
He said we were made in His image.

That means your worth didn’t start when you achieved something.
It didn’t increase when you succeeded.
And it doesn’t disappear when you fail.

It was established at creation.

From the very beginning, God stamped His likeness on you. Not because you earned it — but because He chose it.

The world measures value by performance. Strength. Money. Popularity. What you can produce.

God measures differently.

He says, “You’re Mine. You bear My image.”

I’ve seen strong, capable people forget that. Life can knock you around. Mistakes pile up. Regrets whisper lies. Before long, you start believing you’re less than you are.

But Genesis takes us back to the starting line.

Before the noise. Before the labels.

You were created by God, on purpose, in His image.

That settles it.

Not pride.
Not ego.
Just quiet confidence.

You belong to Him.

And that’s more than enough.
