PICTURE frames are sold with a valueless picture displayed. The point of it is just to take up space. It means nothing. A person will purchase the frame, take it home, and put in a picture of somebody who means something\u2014a relative, a friend, a special memory. The picture that is placed inside the new frame has value. Why? Because it is an image of real life.<\/p>\n
Now, all of a sudden that picture frame has greater value because the image it holds represents something or someone cared for. When there\u2019s life in the womb, God has placed His image in the frame. Now the frame has greater value because it bears the mark of God.365<\/p>\n

Gen. 1:26\u201327; Ps. 139:13; Isa. 44:24<\/p>\n
GOD declared Himself so unique that He says we are not even to make a replica of Him. He doesn\u2019t even want us to take His picture. He doesn\u2019t want us to paint any likeness of Him because even if we try our best to come up with an idea of what He looks like, we\u2019re going to mess Him up.<\/p>\n
It is like going to one of these mall photograph booths with those cheap dollar photographs, taking a picture, and then having to apologize for taking it because rather than complimenting you, it made you look worse. God says, \u201cDon\u2019t even make or come up with an idea of what I look like cause anything you come up with is going to make Me look bad.\u201d366<\/p>\n

A BOY one day was talking to his pastor and he was doodling on a piece of paper. The preacher said to him, \u201cSon, are you drawing a picture?\u201d He said, \u201cYes.\u201d \u201cWhat are you drawing a picture of?\u201d The boy replied, \u201cI\u2019m drawing a picture of God.\u201d The preacher said, \u201cBut we don\u2019t know what God looks like.\u201d The little boy said as he continued drawing his picture, \u201cWell, you will when I\u2019m finished.\u201d367<\/p>\n
