The story of the beginning is etched in the memory of all followers of Christ. It reveals the intention of the Creator for us as mankind. What is this intention you ask? Well...to create!
Remember in this same chapter God tells that man (this includes woman of course) was created in His image. This means that we are the very image of God, created to be in His likeness Genesis 1:26-27.
My question is if God created us in His very own image and went one step further to then make us in His own likeness, don't we ought to manifest this in our daily lives? I'd like to answer yes to this question BUT it is not the case.
As a human, and I am sure we can all relate to this, I do not always walk in God's true and perfect intention for me which is due to a number of reasons e.g fear, worries of life and sometimes just utter disobedience.
When life is not going in the direction we hoped for, we forget that we are God's own image and if God is the Creator, guess what? We are also creators! God has given us dominion over this world so we too can create better situations for ourselves. God did it when the earth was formless and void, He simply said let there be light and there it was, LIGHT! Genesis 1.:3
I've wanted to do this blog thing for a while now but I just always thought, I am not good enough, no time and the ultimate excuse of them all, no one will read it! Now as I write, I am in a place where I have decided to create light in the midst of my fear and worries of rejection. Maybe no one will read this post but I'd never know until I create something to give people a chance to read.
That is what God did when he created this earth, He simply created a conducive place where living organisms can thrive. He has set an example for us as His creator that we ought to follow.
So guys, let's all go forth and create conducive situations where our loved ones, ideas, body, soul and mind, can all thrive in.
