Reflection of

So God created human beings in his image.

Genesis 1:27 

 

When God created the world, notice that the only part of His creation made in His image was us?  God created us in HIS image.  He created us with the potential to reflect Him to others....do we?  Sometimes we give a shimmer of reflection, and sometimes not so much.  You see, God is love (1 John 4:8).  Because God is love, we should share God's unconditional love with others.

 

If we look at the news, we see just how cruel and inhumane we can be to each other, yet John 13:34 reminds us that we are to "Love each other as I have loved you."  Granted, some of us are more challenging to love than others, but we have not been instructed to love only those who are easy to love, rather we are to love each other (all inclusive) as God, through Christ, loves us.  If we need help loving someone, ask God to fill you with His love to the point there's no room for anything less.
