"The Relation we bear to the Wisdom of the Father, the Son of His Love, gives us indeed a dignity which otherwise we have no pretence to. It makes us something, something considerable even in God's Eyes"

This quote by Mary Astell speaks to the special relationship we have with God through His Son, Jesus Christ. It suggests that this relationship provides us a special dignity that we would not otherwise have. This self-respect is something that is acknowledged and appreciated by God Himself. Astell is highlighting the importance of this relationship and how it raises us in God's eyes. It is a pointer that we are not just regular people, but that we are precious kids of God. We are something unique and valuable to Him. This quote motivates us to recognize and appreciate the unique relationship we have with God and to bask in the fact that we are seen and valued by Him.
