Our Image In Jesus and What It Means

-

Angelic beauty

We are all made in the image of Jesus Christ.  In the book of Genesis 1:26 it says " Then God said let us make man in our image, in our likeness."  That means that we are the children of the Most High God.  It also means that we should esteemed in this honor.  Because we know where we come from it should be almost impossible to fail.  Because we know who we belong to we should strive to be more like the Savior.  He is the perfect example  of greatness.  Jesus Christ was more than willing to do the will of His Father.  He was God in the flesh, and he was the son of man.  Born to a mother of innocence Jesus had a perfect image.  What can we do to be more like Jesus? 

Our attitudes that we have about everyday can be a reflection of Jesus Christ.  1st Peter 3:8 says "Finally , all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind."  I believe that Jesus Christ was very humble when it came to doing the will of God.  The book of Colossians mentions that as God's chosen ones we should have compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.  (Colossians 3:12)  We should honor God by having zeal for a right attitude. 

I have a great desire to help young women recognize who they are in Jesus.  Can these young women dress any kind of way. and represent the Lord?  I am not saying that you should hide your beauty, but I think that every woman should be modest, and have respect for their bodies.  1 Corinthians 6:19 says " Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God."  That simply means that there are certain standards that we must keep as Women of Christ.  I am quite baffled that many young women only define beauty by what they see in our society.  Everybody has a different idea of what beautiful is.  Being made in the image of God also means that each one of us has our own unique style.  He designed each of us for a special purpose.  Most young women suffer from low self esteem, and feel that they have no true value. 

Proverbs 31 describes a phenomenal woman of holiness it says that she is far above rubies.  In fact Proverbs 31:30 says "Charm is deceptive and beauty is vain, but a woman that fears the Lord is to be praised."  A woman in today's society should not be afraid of self expression, we are all daughters of God, and he loves us.  We are highly esteemed in his sight, and His Son paid the price for us.

Remembering My First Love

It has been a long time since I have written anything.  Being weighed down by distractions had me forget about my first love.  In the beginning God said "I place the barren woman in her home as a mother of children.". That is what he done for me.  I am another of four, and I have had the pleasure of watching them grow up.  Parenting adult ate very different, and the the lesson learned ate more in depth.  As mother's we transition from nursery rhymes to deep talks. For a moment I have found myself a little lost.  As the children have gotten older I can let go a little, and have more time to myself.  I have no more diapers days, and have a little extra time to breathe.  I'm still navigating the teen years for my youngest daughter, and we are managing her final year of high school. Okay, letts go back a minute to me forgetting my first love.  Writing is my love, and I haven't done it in a long time.  I kinda put it away for a while.    Moe I have a desire to write ag
