Our self-image shapes everything. We act out of what and who we think we are. According to Psalm 139, because God wove our being together in our mother’s womb, He knows us incredibly inmately, right down to the intra-cellular level. And because he wove our minds together (even our subconscious!), he knows our thoughts, our compulsions - even those that are hidden from us! God understands and ‘gets us’, even when nobody else around us does, and even in those mes when we can’t even figure our selves out. And because God wove our hearts and our souls together, he knows exactly how these ck too, and that we are created for love, and that we are created for relaonship - with each other and with Him. He knows our needs, our hopes, our fears, our strengths, our weaknesses and our potenal. According to Scriptures, we are each incredibly special and unique creaons: beaufully, wonderfully, fearfully, awesomely made (Psalm 139:14). God knows us and He loves us - warts and all. And He has made each of us for a purpose and a calling: a high calling. We are called to be the image bearers of God, carrying ourselves with all the dignity that implies, and helping others to find their dignity and calling as image- bearers too.
