In the beginning God created the heavens and earth.  We know this from the words in Genesis 1:1, then six days later God created Man, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” (Genesis 1:27)  This theme was recounted again in Genesis 5:1, “When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God.”  It should also be noted that the word “Man” refers to both male and female, (“He created them male and female and blessed them.  And when they were created, he called them man.”    

Now that we have established the fact that God created male and female in His image.  Can you imagine that?  We are created in the image of God.  So let’s take a look at the word “image.”  What is the meaning of image?  Webster’s dictionary defines image as, “a visual representation of something, the exact likeness or semblance.”  

How amazing is that, we are created in the exact likeness or visual representation of God.  That is a pretty incredible concept.  So the next time you look at yourself in the mirror, I want you to say, “God we are looking good today, no God, we are looking amazing!”  

You were made in God’s image to do good in this world and share his vision for Joy, Hope, Peace and Love.  Be filled with the knowledge that you are wonderfully and amazingly created by God. (Psalm 139:14) Have yourself a very happy day, and may your heart be filled with love.
