Mankind In His Own Image
So
God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male
and female he created them.
God
blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the
earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and
over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
Then
God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth
and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And
to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the
creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in
it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.
God
saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and
there was morning—the sixth day.
Genesis 1:27-31
Can you imagine seeing God someday and realizing that He created
us in His own image. The all knowing, all creating Being from day one created
us in His likeness. What an honor.
And think about the way He writes His signature every day with
sunrises, and sunsets, warm breezes and freezing cold rain and snow. Each day is
unique, just like each one of us is unique. That being said, there is a common
bond between all of us as human beings created in God’s image.
Celebrate the differences that make each
of His children unique.
The signature of God is seen on His
creation.
