It can be so easy to notice the flaws in someone, but how often do we take time to vocalize and celebrate their gifts and talents? How often do we celebrate them for being the person God made them to be?

Every human is made in the image of God. God created every individual with a unique personality and mindset to carry them through the life He created and designed for them. God takes great pride in and cares deeply for His creation.

Jesus himself spoke about how deeply God cares for creation and humanity. Matthew 10: 29-31 shares Jesus’s words, “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”

God cares deeply about you, and your family, and your friends, and all of humanity. So instead of sharing your thoughts of the people around you, encourage them by sharing how God cares for them and how He created them in His image.
