For God so loved the world.

Genesis 1: 26 Then God said, ”Let us make man in our own (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) image and likeness. Let them rule over all creatures, the fish in the sea, and the birds in the air.

So God created man in His own image. He created them male and female.”

My youngest son has a great deal of spiritual depth. We had a conversation recently about the following: Our minds cannot fully grasp the glory of God, and the creation of the universe. Somewhere, there is a possibility of:

* Other galaxies

* Creatures unlike ourselves

* Planets not controlled by sin.

The reality of being created in God’s image and likeness bulls me over. Why me? Why did He choose me? Why wasn’t I a creature like in the scary movies? Only He knows the answer.

He gave me a choice. I have a choice to choose between good and evil. He also knew that I couldn’t conquer evil alone. SOOOO John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten

Son, that whoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have eternal life.

That, in itself, is hard to comprehend. This God who created me, loves me that much, that He offers His own Son for MY salvation?

Again, it’s so hard to comprehend. There is FAITH….The Bible is a historical document, as well. The more that you digest its contents; the more you realize that it’s the TRUTH…..AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. Why else would all of the apostles have died for that truth?

He’s given me so many “God Things” to say, “I’m here. I live within you. I’m real.”

HEAVENLY FATHER: Let your grace and peace roll over me, as I bask in your presence. I rejoice in your creation. I rejoice in your overwhelming love for me. I rejoice in my salvation.
