Then God said: Let us make human beings in our image, after our likeness. Gen 1:26

The Most Fortunate

Among all the creatures that God created, human beings alone received the most fortunate privilege of sharing the image and likeness of the Creator. His sharing of this image and likeness shows the value He has for each one of us. Hence, we need to give the same credit and respect to everyone who bear the divine image. There can be no better word than His own words that reveal the wonderful plan of God: “Then God said: Let us make human beings in our image, after our likeness.” (Gen 1:26). May God give us the wisdom to see the entire mankind as the reflection of His marvelous glory and appreciate each other’s great dignity.

 

Abba, thank You for deliberately sharing Your image and likeness with us. Let Your Spirit make us rejoice over this great fortune, in Jesus’ Most Wonderful Name, Amen.
