I will give thanks to you,
for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Your works are wonderful.

- God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.
The angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.” But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.Next verse!With image
