Self-image is so important, especially to God our Father. So, it is important to realize that when our Father created Adam in His image, our Father wanted to look like Adam looked. When He created Eve, He wanted to look like Eve looked. So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. Genesis 1:27 KJV.

Do you realize what that means for you and me? Before the beginning of time, God intended you and me to look the way we do, and He is thrilled to look like you and me! God is not disappointed in His looks when He sees you and me. Why are we?

He may be disappointed with our hearts, but whether we are short, average or tall; skinny, right-on or fat; clear skinned or pock-marked face; maimed or not, before God created anything, He found it thrilling to think of presenting Himself in the way you and I look.

So don’t worry about your looks. God did not see your looks as a drawback or negative to accomplishing His will through you. He knew beforehand the body into which He would place His Holy Spirit for those who believe in His Son. Be thrilled. Be thrilled. He plans great things through you and me. Listen to Him. Read His Word daily.
