“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.. – Genesis 1:26-27 (KJV)

Psalm 37:23-24 tells us, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.”

You are not a failure or useless.

You are created in the image of God, so you are not a failure or useless. Yes, from time to time we may make mistakes and have moments of failure (especially when we’re learning something new), but this doesn’t make us “failures”. It just means that we are learning and growing. It’s the same concept as when a baby is learning to walk, there will be times of stumbling and falling. But does that make the baby a failure? No! That baby is just learning and growing—and every day he or she gets better, because no baby ever gives up thinking they will never master the act of walking. Neither should we!

God doesn’t make failures and He does not and will not ever, see you that way. In fact, God would rather you try and make mistakes than never try at all. God sees your created value and we must learn to see ourselves the same way!

Take just a moment to thank God for being such a loving God and Father who is helping you grow into the person He has always meant you to be.
