Genesis 1:26-31 (NKJV) 26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. 30 Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food”; and it was so. 31 Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day. We are created in the image of God. Think about that! What does God look like? Lots of times we think of our perception of Jesus when we think about what God looks like but a physical description of God is impossible because scripture tells us in John 1:18a "No one has seen God at any time." So let's see what we do know about God. God is love 1 John 1:8. God is trustworthy, He keeps His promises Deuteronomy 7:9. God is mighty and faithful Psalm 89:8. He is always with us Joshua 1:9. Deuteronomy 32:4 tells us "He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He". God Is light 1 John 1:5. So if we are made in God's image, that must make us pretty special to God don't you think? God made us to be love because He made us out of love. He made us to be mighty because He is mighty. God wants us to be faithful to Him because He is faithful to us. God wants us to be trustworthy, seek justice, righteousness and walk with Him always. God made us perfect because He made us in His image. Did you get that? You are perfect. God made you perfect. God made you in His perfect image. God made you the way you are and loves you as you are. Stop trying to be someone you are not. Be the perfect image of God that He created you to be. Be love. Be light. Be God's. Blessings, Cecilia |

Stanford Sanctuary gets it name from a sign my mother had hanging on a wilderness cabin in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, a place that gave us peace. Blessings, The Stanford's
