God Teach Me How To Love Myself

Opening Verse

“So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them.” (Genesis 1:27)

Now, this verse is truly an establishment of how God loves us. He went ahead and created us in his own image and likeness. How wonderful! 🙂

David says in this scripture “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” (Psalm 139:14). Look at the phrase “for I am fearfully and wonderfully made”.

The message bible puts it this way observe carefully…

I thank you, High God-you’re breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration – what a creation!

I believe by now you get the idea of how you’ve been fearfully and wonderfully created.

You also get to know in the order of creation Man was the last creation i.e He was created on the sixth day.  This is what Genesis 1:24–31 says…

On the sixth day of creation, God created the land animals and the pinnacle of His creative work, humans. God’s handiwork was complete at the end of the sixth day (Genesis 1:24–31)
