God made the first humans to be His representatives (image-bearers) within the material creation. They went rogue and broke the system and we all descend from that catastrophe. Yet God still loves His fallen image-bearers and is redeeming them and repairing them through the perfect Image of God, Jesus Christ.
Psalm 8 and Psalm 139

Regardless of how we may feel, the truth is unchangeable. And God is unchangeable and always worthy of praise. We always have reason to give thanks. Psalm 100 helps us see why. We belong to One who is always good and has everlasting mercy.
Psalm 100

As the song says, to be fully known and fully loved is a gift only God can give. When we are born again, the LORD also adopts us as His sons and His daughters, to be lavished with unconditional love – a love we did not deserve nor need to try to deserve. It is ours by unmerited grace. And as we contemplate that love and grace, especially as embodied in Jesus Christ, we are being transformed into that same image in preparation for that day of completion when we see Him as He is.
