 “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

SOUNDING

When God created humanity, He didn’t just speak us into existence. He formed, shaped, and breathed life into us. It was personal, intentional, and close. You’re not an accident of genetics or a product of your job title, failures, or the labels people give you. Before any of that existed, God marked you with His image. Being made in His image means you carry the ability to love deeply, create and build, influence moments and people, hold a dignity no one can erase, and live with an identity that doesn’t shift with circumstances. This year, plenty of voices will try to define you as “not enough,” “too much,” “behind,” or “overlooked.” But Scripture tells you something stronger: you reflect the God who formed you. Let that settle your feet and strengthen your backbone.

BEARING

Your identity is rooted in divine design, not human opinion.

Prayer

Lord, through Your Son Jesus, help me walk today with the steady confidence of someone made in Your image.

DROP IN

Write this somewhere you’ll see today: “My identity is rooted in who God is.”
