Valued in God’s Eyes
Every girl child is significant and cherished in God’s kingdom. We are reminded that in His eyes, each one of us has immense worth and potential. The Bible tells us clearly that God does not favor one gender over the other. He has created each of us in His image, equipping us with unique gifts and purposes. In a world that sometimes prioritizes boys, it’s essential for us to support and uplift the girl child. We are all part of the same family, and we share responsibility for nurturing each other’s potential. When we view and treat girls as valuable and capable, we fulfill God’s desire for equity among His children. Let’s remember that God has a special design for each girl child, filled with love, purpose, and hope.
