John 17: 22
(AMP)		 I have given to them the glory and honor which You have given Me, that they may be one [even] as We are one; I in them and You in Me, in order that they may become one and perfectly united, that the world may know and [definitely] recognize that You sent Me and that You have loved them [even] as You have loved Me.

There are two things we can focus on in these verses of scripture, the first being our glory and honor. The glory which covered and crowned Adam in the garden of Eden was forfeited by his sin, subsequently causing all of us to be born in sin. Our Saviour Jesus has given us the glory and honor that was given to Him and we can live in a realm of dignity, worth, glory, honour, pre-eminence and grace. This cannot be earned only accepted by faith in His finished work. The second thing we can see is that God loves us the same as He loves Jesus, that might be difficult to grasp but His love for you is the same as His love for Jesus. If we can grasp these two facts we will have dominion in every area of our lives. God is captivated by you, He is constantly thinking of you, His love for you is the same as His love for Jesus and He has crowned and covered you with dignity, worth, glory and honour.

PS. Remember, you are the crown of God’s creation and His love for you is outrageous.
