Mankind is something very special. We are made in the image of God. We are made to have fellowship with God.
Some people get the idea that God made man so that He would have someone to dominate. However, God is not a dominator. God is Love and love needs to have someone to it give to. That is why God made man. He made us so that He could give us His Love.
God could have given His love to the angels, and He did that. But giving His love to angels did not provide total fulfilment. Why? Because angels are not made in His image.
You are the same way. Let us say, for example, you have a puppy as a pet. You can fellowship with that little puppy just so much, but then there comes a time when you need someone to talk to. There comes a time when you need to have communication on your own level.
The reason you are like that is because you are created in the image of God. That is how He is. He has a desire to fellowship with someone like Himself.
“What we have seen and [ourselves] heard, we are also telling you, so that you too may realise and enjoy fellowship as partners and partakers with us. And [this] fellowship that we have [which is a distinguishing mark of Christians] is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ (the Messiah).” 1 John 1:3 AMPC
Dare to believe you are something really special today; a one-of-a-kind creation made by God in His very own image. Dare to receive His love and dare to love Him back!
“Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. Thank you for the privilege that I have to relate to You, the God of everything. Thank you that all I have to do is turn to You and talk, and know that You not only hear me, but listen. Father, today I choose to turn to You in conversation and Love about everything. Amen.”
May God’s Richest Love and Blessings be with all of our LFM family in Jesus’ Name.
André and Nicole Binneman
