想像一下，一个艺术家日复一日地在一个雕塑上努力工作。通常她会退后一步看她的作品，如果她对作品的外观不满意，就会继续工作。当她为自己完成的作品感到高兴和自豪时，她会说这个作品很好。她会带着满意和喜悦的心情去看它。

《创世记》第一章谈到神创造天地，它是通过描述一个六天的模式来实现的。在这个过程中，我们多次读到：“神看着是好的”。神对祂所创造的事物感到喜悦和满足。神看这个世界是好的，美丽的。

神创造的世界是美好的：光、天空、大地、太阳、鱼、动物。神称所有这些东西为“好”。而神创造人类时，祂是按照自己的形像造了他们。男人和女人都是按照神的形像被造的，他们像自己的创造主一样是美的。

如果你被引诱怀疑自己作为一个人的价值，请记住，宇宙的创造主是按照自己的形像造你的。请记得：神正端详着包括你在内的美好受造，称赞它又“好”又美丽。

Imagine an artist who works hard at a sculpture day after day. Often she'll stand back to look at her work, and if she's not satisfied with how it looks, she'll keep working on the sculpture. When she's happy and proud of what she's completed, she'll say that the work is good. She'll look on it with satisfaction and joy.

When Genesis 1 speaks of God creating the heavens and the earth, it does so by describing a pattern of six days. And several times in the process we read, "God saw that it was good." God took joy and satisfaction in the things he created. God saw that the world was good and beautiful.

God made the world to be beautiful: the light, the sky, the land, the sun, the fish, the animals. God called all of these things "good." And when God created human beings, God created them in his own image. Men and women are all created in the image of God, beautiful like their creator.

If you are ever tempted to doubt your own worth as a person, remember that the creator of the universe made you in his own image. Remember that God looks on his beautiful creation, including you, and calls you "good" and beautiful.
