When we begin to take a look at the things around us, we begin to see how God made us in His Image.
We see that we are called for a purpose and no matter what we do, we see how God made us to be His.
I'd like to think in how we are uniquely called and wonderfully made children of God.
We serve a purpose to know that God is our Savior and He is going to be with us always.
No matter if we fall, God will always pick us back up because that is what a Love of a Father who made us is about, knowing that our Heavenly Father made us in His Image.
It's a blessing in itself to see our testimonies unfold, especially in God's Image.
I'd like to examine the tapestry of the beautiful images God sees in us.
When we think of it, we see some key points in which we know God's Truth.
- We are not a failure in God's Eyes
- We rise to the occasion of doing our best
- We don't have to believe the lies of the Enemy
- When we believe in God's Truth, we see we are perfectly imperfect and what I mean with that, is we are truly made in who God says we are and are called to be because without Him, we wouldn't be here
- If we didn't have Christ, we wouldn't have been made in His Image to where God calls us His
- Why is it that we sometimes doubt who we are called to be in His Image instead of living to the best of our ability?
- I think it's at times we are scared that if we try our best to the ability in who Christ made us to be that the Enemy could fight so much harder and show us in how we don't need to believe in ourselves but rather doubt ourselves
- You see with God, we have the ability to block out that doubt and know we are Enough in Christ
- We need to understand that God created us in who we were before being born to who we are now
Let us look at some scriptures that talk about being made in God's Image.
Psalm 139 verse 14: I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Romans 8 verse 28: And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Genesis 1 verse 26-27: Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female He created them.
Seven billion voices separate us, But only one can show us who we are, We are made, Made in the image of, Made in the image of God, Beautiful shades of love, We are made, Made in the image of, Made in the image of God, That's where the light comes from, We all need the same medicine, We all need another second chance, There's no first in line at the foot of the Cross, Father, forgive me, Show my concrete heart, We are made, Made in the image of, Made in the image of God, Beautiful shades of love, We are made, Made in the image of, Made in the image of God, That's where the light comes from, We fall apart, We all lose sight of Heaven But still Your love is chasing us, Give me a heart For every heart that's breaking And give me eyes to see, We're so much more than flesh and blood, We are Made in the image of, Made in the image of God, We are made, Made in the image of, Made in the image of God, Beautiful shades of Love, We are made, Made in the image of, Made in the image of God.
John 4 verse 24: God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
To me all of the scriptures, and what I've shared, remind me that we shouldn't take life for granted because as much as the Enemy will try to come after us, it's God who defends and fights for us, it's the people around us that fight for us and will help us to know that we are never alone with God because with God we see that the purpose in the image of which we were created, is so much more than we see.
What I mean in that last part, is that we don't have everything figured out in who we are called to be because we are still have our testimony which is our story, written by God who loves so much that He would do anything for His Children.
Let us remember that as we go about our week, that we know that just like the We Are Messenger Song, We are Made, Made In The Image Of God.
To end on this study, I'm going to share the official lyric video for that song by them as I hope when you listen to the full song, you have that reminder this week, that yes we are not perfect but made in His Image and because of that, we can serve well, do well, and always try our best as Christ intended for us.
