Sacred Jewel

How sweet the essence of my being! How fresh my dew that comes from heaven's well. In the image of HIS likeness, GOD my Father in Heaven created me with attributes that make the world stop and ponder to see what I shall become. I am only what GOD calls me - fearfully and wonderfully made. There is no lack in me. I am a masterpiece, and so are you.
 
So, join me on the reflection experience as we celebrate who we are - SACRED JEWELS
