You Are Not a Cookie Cutter, There Is only One of You in This Entire World!
đź“– Scriptures:
- Genesis 1:27 – “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”
- Psalm 139:14 – “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
- Ephesians 2:10 – “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”
🙌🏻 Devotional:
When the Bible says we are made in the image of God, it is declaring something profound: that every human being carries the imprint of the Creator. This doesn’t mean we are gods, but that we reflect aspects of His character.
- Value & Dignity: Being made in God’s image means our worth is not determined by culture, success, mistakes, or the opinions of others. Our worth comes from Him.
- Reflection of God’s Nature: We are capable of love, creativity, justice, compassion, and relationship because these reflect who God is.
- Identity & Purpose: The enemy attacks our identity because he knows if we forget who we are, we will not walk in the authority and purpose God gave us.
- Restored Through Christ: Sin marred the image, but Jesus restores it. In Christ, we are new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17), restored to reflect God’s glory.
This truth is especially powerful when we feel rejected, insecure, or unloved. God’s word silences those lies: “You are My image-bearer. You are My masterpiece. You are mine.”

🙏🏻 Prayer:
“Father, I thank You for creating me in Your image. Forgive me for the times I have believed the lies that I am worthless, insignificant, or unlovable. Help me to see myself through Your eyes — as Your beloved child, stamped with Your image and restored by Christ. Let me walk boldly in my identity, reflecting Your love, truth, and light to others. And when shame, fear, or doubt rise up, remind me again that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
