This article is definitely worth a read. It's all about honour and what that actually looks like in our lives. It's about honouring ourselves and those around us, which ultimately brings honour to God. These truths are so good to remember, yet can be so easy to forget.
'When we are living out of our redeemed identities, we naturally honour God.'
'We embody God's infinite, wondrous creativity, a breathtaking exhibition of His wisdom and goodness....When we put ourselves down, we tell a lie which dishonours the One who made us.'
'...all people are made in the image of God, however distorted that image might appear; that we are each unique, irreplaceable and therefore inordinately valuable; and that, above all, we are wholly and dearly loved by God Himself – every one of us.'
What really challenged me though was that when we compare ourselves to other people 'we are actually responding disrespectfully to God and His passion for the people He created'. It's exciting to think that this culture of honour is the culture God designed for us to live in and how beautiful it will look when we begin to live in the fullness of it. Reason no. 69 :)
