WOW! You Are Godly Created

A Devotional on Identity and God’s Image

Opening Thought

Have you ever had someone stop you in your tracks with a simple but powerful reminder of who you are in Christ? My friend Dave has this way of saying, “WOW! You’re Godly created. You carry His image. His presence drips off you. WOW!” Those words carry weight because they echo a truth we often forget: you are not ordinary. You were made in the image of God, and His Spirit dwells within you.

Scripture Readings

• “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” — Genesis 1:27

• “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory…” — 2 Corinthians 3:18

• “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” — Colossians 1:27

Reflection

We live in a world that constantly tells us we are not enough. Not good enough, not successful enough, not beautiful enough, not spiritual enough. But the Word of God tells a different story: you are already stamped with His image. You reflect Him in ways you may not even see.

When people encounter you, they don’t just see you—they see the fingerprints of your Creator. His presence lingers on you, like oil that drips down and leaves a fragrance. That’s why encouragement like Dave’s hits so deeply. It’s a reminder that your very existence is proof of God’s handiwork.

Application

• Pause and Reflect: Each morning this week, look in the mirror and remind yourself, “WOW! I’m Godly created. I carry His image.”

• Soak in Scripture: Choose one of the verses above and meditate on it daily. Let it shape the way you see yourself.

• Speak Life: Just like Dave’s words, find someone you can remind this week of their identity in Christ. Speak truth over them—they may need it more than you know.

Closing Prayer

Lord, thank You for creating me in Your image. Help me see myself the way You see me—full of Your presence and purpose. Let my life drip with Your glory so that when others encounter me, they encounter You. Teach me to encourage others with the same truth, reminding them of the beauty and dignity of being Yours. WOW, Lord—what a gift it is to belong to You. Amen.
