Regaining Lost Hope

An important element of regaining hope is to stop devaluing ourselves and understand that we all have great value.

For many years the scientific community has been devaluing human life through evolution. The only problem is that evolution is not scientific, rather it is a faith system, which is why it’s called the theory of evolution, it’s based upon assumptions unsupported by scientific methodology, which is what a theory is, unsubstantiated fact based upon observation.

The reason I bring this up is because if evolution is to be believed, then we’re nothing more than elevated pond scum and there’s nothing valuable about us. Evolution devalues life, which is why so many people walk around with lost hope and even taking their lives because they consider they have no value to anyone or anything.

What we need, therefore, is to see ourselves as God sees us, that we are greater in the eyes of God than we are in our own eyes. In God’s eyes we are of great value because God has put that value in us.

God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” (Genesis 1:26-27 NKJV)

God created us at the top of the food chain, that is, we’re His number one creation, but even more than that He created us with an inherent value, and because we’ve been created in His image and likeness God can dwell within us as He has promised.

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” (Revelation 3:20 NKJV)
