God's image

What does it made to be made in God's image?

I read a book during Christmas break called "The Shack" and although some may not have liked it for other reasons I really enjoyed the dialogue a person has with God in the book. I have also been reading Patriachs and Prophets written by Ellen G. White where she has provided added color the Old Testament and what happened to the stories we have all heard about Adam and Eve, Noah, Jacob and Esau, Able and Cain. I really recommend you to read it and it will give bring a lot more meaning to the old Bible stories. She does a way of making the stories relevant to today and in your life. Anyways, getting back on track, I thought of what it means to be made in God's image and like to share this thought with you.

A birds not defined by being grounded but by his ability to fly.
Remember this, humans are not defined by their limitations, but by the
intentions God has for us, not by what they seem to God, but by
everything it means to be created in God's image.

We often defines ourselves but what we can't do instead of what we CAN do. We forget that we were made in God's image, in the full extent of His love. To me, it's amazing how God created us in His image, and makes me proud of who I am and what I am capable of doing with God in command of my life.

Wish me luck on studying for boards by the way on June 3, 2011! and pray for me, as I'll be happy to pray for you as well! :)
