What does it mean that you were an idea in the mind of God?

The reflection compares God to an artist who thinks about a masterpiece for a long time and knows it inside and out. In that picture, you were an idea in God's mind before the universe existed, then formed with care, and loved as if you were the only one. Explore more under identity.

How should this change the way I see other people?

The speaker says every person, including someone you dislike, was also an idea and a masterpiece in the mind of God. He suggests remembering that the next time you cut yourself or someone else down. For a closer look at love, see This is how to love.

What if I don't believe any of this?

The speaker says that is your choice, but it does not change the claim: God gave humans freedom, and still loves you whatever you choose. If you are not sure what you believe, take the Spiritual Perspectives Quiz or contact the team.
