Like Him

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the [al]sky and over every living thing that[am]moves on the earth.”

More from Genesis on creation!

God made us – in HIS IMAGE!  That means we are his children.  He also gave us rule over his creation.  That means he entrusts us with all that is his!  He blessed us and told us to be fruitful and multiply.  That means his power resides in us to grow and prosper!

From the very beginning, God wanted to be in us, live through us, and create with us on this beautiful earth, as we fellowship with him and eat at his table and never go hungry or thirsty.
That was his purpose.  It still is.  And he still fulfills it, even though we’ve made a mess of things, when we believe and love him with all our heart.

What a good God we have – and he’s our Father.
