Oct 6.97: Light For The Day - "Image of God"

All of creation bears God's autograph. - Anon

-----------
"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 (NIV) 

--------- 
"Image of God"

God made you! You were fashioned in His own
image! You were made in the image and likeness
of the Creator. God had a purpose in making you.
His primary purpose was that you would have
fellowship with Him. If man does not have fellowship
with God, he is lost, confused, and bewildered.
Since he does not find his place, he has a sense of
not fitting.

There are thousands of people who admit and confess
that they are unhappy. Economic security, recreation,
pleasure, and a good community in which to live have
not brought about the peace and happiness that they
expected. The reason is that man was created in the
image of God and cannot find complete rest, happiness,
joy, and peace until he comes back to God.

- Billy Graham
Prayer:
Help me this day, Father, to tell others of the fellowship
that can be theirs. Your love will enable me.

Father, thank You for Your Spirit--
Fill us with His love and power;
Change us into Christ's own image
Day by day and hour by hour.

"We write to you about the Word of life, which has
existed from the very beginning. .... so we speak
of it and tell you about the eternal life which was
with the Father and was made known to us. What
we have seen and heard we announce to you also,
so that you will join with us in the fellowship that 
we have with the Father and with his Son Jesus
Christ." 
- 1John 1:1-4 (TEV)

"Know that the LORD is God! It is he that made us,
and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep
of his pasture."
- Psalm 100:3 (RSV)
