Made in God's image

In Genesis, we hear the story of the creation of our world; from the separation of light and darkness, to the land rising from the water, the birth of flora and fauna, birds of the air and fish of the sea, to animals that roam the earth and then finally, the creation of humanity. Chapter 1, verse 26-27, "Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." Each of us is created in the image of God. Our challenge each and every day is to love and commune with our neighbors, and to see the face of God in those whose faces are so very different from our own.
May the face of God shine on you in this day!
