http://www.gospelines.com "In The Image of God" O.K., I confess... I'm hooked on it! At my local grocery store there is a game machine which is filled with colorful stuffed animals of all kinds. It reminds me of what a cartoon of Noah's ark would look like. On each of my 3 or 4 weekly trips to the store, I almost always feed the machine with money and manipulate the grappling hook to snatch one of the little critters. Over the years I've become pretty accomplished at it. We have more than 50 small animals in various parts of our house, grinning their stuffed hearts out and bringing smiles to everyone who sees them. The neatest part about my obsession is that each of the animals is different. They are unique in their own special way, hand crafted down to the last tiny detail. I toted another one home tonight, for the third time this week. As I looked at our collection, I began to think about the imagination of the craftsman who makes them. It reminds me of my Creator, how He carefully made me and you unlike anyone else. But our differences don't stop with our looks. Each of God's children is born with talents and gifts which set us apart for service. Within you, God has crafted a special gift which makes you important to Him and to the world. There is a part of you which blesses someone every time they see you! The world would be much worse off without you in it. I am glad you are here to share it with me! GospeLines Prayer: Creator of Eden, Holy Father of Revelation, I adore You for making me the way You did. With compassion You shared Your tears; with heartache You gave me freedom to choose; with agony You blessed me with suffering. You didn't make me perfect like Yourself, but You held nothing back so that I can feel what You feel, and in no small way I can know the mind and heart of my Creator. Thank you for making me in Your image. Amen and amen. O.
