Do you ever really wonder why you were made in God's image? Hmm!
God accepts us as we are - all scarred, sinful, battle-beaten, fearful - but sees us as we were meant to be as made in His image. When the farmer plants that handful of hard, dried, often mis-shaped seeds in the soil, he already sees in his mind a full harvest. Yes, it will take cultivating, pruning, watering, and great patience to get there, but the reward is well worth the labor. This is how God sees us - He has an amazing pair of 'rose colored' glasses - as bearers of His image. We are eternal spiritual beings going through a human cultivation process, bearing rewarding fruit here on earth AND building treasure in heaven. The whole key to successful transition is letting God rule. When you take a look at nature and all His creation you can see He's mighty good at it.
Until tomorrow...
