Imago Dei... A picture of God

Have you ever wondered if there was something that makes us significant? I do. Often it comes when I am feeling less than significant. There have been things in my life that help remind me that I am in fact significant, mostly I am reminded by my friends. There have been other things as well, pieces of art, songs, or even nature that have taken on special meaning to me and remind me of our significance. However there is one thing that is deeper than all of these. There is an ancient truth that teaches us of our significance. God tells us in Genesis 2:7 that he breathed the breath of life into man and then the man became a living being. God did not do this for any other part of creation other than man. The scripture hints that this breath God breathed into us was more than just air, but it was the very spirit of God. He created in you and me a picture of himself. What else could make us more beautiful or significant?
