Genesis 1:27 - In His Image.
Genesis 1:27 (NIV) So God created man in his
own image, in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
Imagine God's creativity. Of all we don't
know about the creation, there is one thing we do
know - he did it with a smile. He must've had a
blast. Painting the stripes on the zebra, hanging
the stars in the sky, putting the gold in the
sunset. What creativity! Stretching the neck of the
giraffe, putting the flutter in the mockingbird's
wings, planting the giggle in the hyena.
What a time he had. Like a whistling
carpenter in his workshop, he loved every bit of it.
He poured himself into the work. So intent was
his creativity that he took a day off at the end
of the week just to rest.
And then, as a finale to a brilliant
performance, he made man. With his typical creative
flair, he began with a useless mound of dirt and
ended up with an invaluable species called a
human. A human who had the unique honor to bear the
stamp, "In His Image." [Grace For The Moment SB By
Max Lucado]
"Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, and
our hearts are restless until they rest in
thee." [St. Augustine]
