Bible in a Year:
We all . . . are being transformed into his image.
Her inspiring story invites believers to ask, What does God, our holy Teacher, see in us, regardless of our limits? More than anything, He sees Himself. So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them (Genesis 1:27 nlt).
As His glorious image bearers, when others see us, we should reflect Him. For Abela, that means Jesus, not her handsor her lack of fingersmatters most. The same is true for all believers. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lords glory, are being transformed into his image, says 2 Corinthians 3:18.
Similar to Abela, we can conduct our lives by Christs transforming power (v. 18), offering a life song that rings out to the honor of God.
How does knowing you are Gods image-bearer help you to see yourself differently? How does it help you in your interactions with others?
Thank You, God, for making me in Your image. Help me to apply this fact to all of my life.
Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
Finally made it through hump day. Hope your week is going better than mine.
