When one awakens to the truth
that he or she is created in the image of God
(Genesis 1:27),

and when the children of God remember
that they are one body through all of history
(Romans 12:4–5; Ephesians 4:4–6),

then comparison fades—
since each has equal worth in God
(2 Corinthians 10:12).

Competition falls silent—
since all belong to one body, not rivals
(Romans 12:5).

And lies with hidden motives lose their power— since unity and truth prevail through the Holy Spirit.
(Ephesians 4:25).

For each soul shines as unique in His gaze
(Psalm 139:14),
and every child of God becomes
a strength, a shelter,
a gift of support to the other.
