The picture you see is from a small town in central India. You can see the man straining under the weight of his load. Yet he is working and surviving. As a creature made in God's image he has inestimable worth in God's eyes. God says in Psalm 139 that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Thus this man's life and work have dignity. All of God's image bearers, therefore, from the least to the greatest have worth. That includes you too! Whatever you are going through rest assured that God loves you. The penultimate expression of that love is found in his son Jesus who died a criminal's death on the cross for you and for me. Have you embraced that truth? Do you value all humans as God's image bearers?
