I remember once upon a time when I constantly felt so insignificant, so puny that I cried to God that he made some kind of mistake when he designed me. The thing is I carried myself with such daring confidence that I sometimes felt that I was fooling myself. Deep down I somehow never really believed that I was insignificant and times when I failed to look at my self in heaven’s mirror, I agreed that I was insignificant… insignificant but with distinguished attitude and personality; I just felt a strong urge to believe that I was somehow more than my physical being. With each cell he put in place he went wow sweetheart, I love you! You see when I dismissed how God admired me I lost myself. How could I have not recognized such precious love? It is not the kind of love that can be measured in human terms of endearment… and that is how I had come to describe this kind of love that will move everything and everyone in its way to make sure that I claim my birthright as an imago dei. No kidding! He made me just a little less than himself and himself only and he gave me dominion over all things*! Well that was enough to make spring to life; jump for joy and clap my hands; sing, laugh, cry, dance and let lose the shackles and set my mind free to enjoy the treasure that I am… God’s holiness!
