From today’s devo:

Have you ever considered what it means to be made in God’s image? It doesn’t mean we’re omniscient or omnipotent. That’s clear. It also doesn’t mean we’re pure and holy. That’s clear too. What did He want from us? Why did He find it meaningful to create a being who resembled–in some manner and in some degree–Himself?

Perhaps that angels cannot feel the pleasure and passion of God. Perhaps they do not know the many kinds of love that God has made us capable of. Perhaps they can’t express the grief and anger over sin and destruction that we can. Perhaps there was no one in this heaven who knew anything substantial about mercy and grace. So God made man.

Of course I’m not saying this is the one true answer to why God made us to be like him. But it’s a thought. God didn’t want to create more loyal (and I guess in a way mindless) beings who worshipped him without truly knowing Him. I guess maybe, God wanted someone to empathize with. Maybe.

Why are we made in God’s image?

It’s a question for sure that’s run by my head, but I haven’t given it a whole lot of thought.

But I pray that I can be the person He wanted me to be.

Even though, it’s hard to live up to His perfect standards
