c. I am the treasure of God! - He bought me with a price (1 Peter 1:18-19)
d. By his grace, I have received all the love of God (John 17:23; Romans 5:8)
e. I belong to my beloved, and he loves me too! (Song 7:10, Psalms 139:17-18)

I am God's awesome masterpiece, the darling of the darlings - This is who I am! I have the potential to move the Creator. I am created to share in his glory, and to be the dwelling place of his Holy Spirit - this is my mission!

I respect you, because you are God's exquisite masterpiece, with amazing potentials, and He loves you so much!

If you know who you really are, how God loves you, and your great and glorious mission, you can no longer despise yourself or doubt your worth.

If you can perceive the glorious potentials in others and understand how God loves them, you will no longer dare to judge. We need to learn to respect each other as God sees us.
