God created everything. He created the heavens and earth. He created everything that brings beauty into this world. He created all life including you. Humans are God's masterpiece. You are made in the likeness of God.
Male and female are different in almost every aspect except that they were made by God and both hold worth in different ways. Everyone holds a likeness to God in some way. You are a physical representative of God in this world. Nothing else is able to communicate and have a relationship with God like people.
Every person matters. Every person has a purpose. How you treat others matters to God. He cares if you chose abortion, prejudice, genocide, murder, or other forms of hateful acts that harms His creations. He cares enough to forgive you and forget any past mistake, but He does want you to repent. No one is without fault of hurting someone in some way. He can use acts of hate to change people's hearts including your heart.
A person is a body, a soul, and a complex mind. You have a personality that is all your own. You have the ability to reason. You build your morality and what direction you take spiritually. Your freewill directs your life and how you invest your time with the life God gave to you.
God created and loves each person. You are not clumped into a group with Him. You are precious, valued, and important to God. You have dignity because you are His creation. You are an eternal being. You decide where you end up in life.
God commands you to love everyone, so when it is hard to love people pray for them. Pray over your own heart to see them the way God sees them. Pray to see their value in this world. Sin can cloud your perspective. Sin can make some people very hard to love. Like you, your enemy is a workmanship, a masterpiece, of God. No matter how far they stray from Him that truth never changes.
No matter what people tell you, you are worth the effort. You are crafted by God. You are a piece of art, uniquely made and can never be fully copied. You are worthy of love, dignity, and bare minimum of respect as God's image bearer. Your nationality, race, sex, language, intellect, personality, or anything else does not matter because God made you exactly the beautiful image that you are. You don't need to try to change or improve the appearance. Grow in your relationship with Him and everything else will sort itself out. God's signature is on your DNA.
