Image of God and Body Value
- Being made in the image of God means we represent His character and authority, not physical appearance.
- Our bodies are temples of God's Spirit and carry infinite value regardless of looks.
Comparison Fuels Body Image Issues
- Comparison, especially via social media, drives discontentment with body image.
- We often compare ourselves to unrealistic, airbrushed images, fueling an impossible standard.
Audit Your Body Image Thoughts
