Why were we created?

What we have seen and [ourselves] heard we are also telling you, so that you too may realize and enjoy fellowship as partners and partakers with us. And [this] fellowship that we have (which is a distinguishing mark of Christians) is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ, the Messiah. – 1 John 1:3

Did you know, that you are special to God? Man's existence really special. Did you know you were made in the image of God? Did you know you were made to have fellowship with God?

Some people have this warped idea that God made man so He'd have someone to dominate and control. But God is not a dominator. God's very nature is love and His love needs to be given to someone. That's why God made man. He made him so He could give him His love.... Blows your mind right?

God could have given His love  solely to the angels, but He didn't. Giving love to the angels didn't provide total fulfillment. Why? Because angels aren't made in His image. Bu-Yah!!! We are!!!

If you think about it, you're the same way. Let's say, for example, you have a puppy as a pet. You can fellowship with that little pet just so much, but then there comes a time when you need to talk to somebody. There comes a time when you need to have communication on your own level. (You feelin' me?)

The reason you're like that is because you're created in the image of God. That's how He is... He has a desire to fellowship with someone like Himself.

(Epiphany)....PFFFT!!!!

Here's the challenge: Dare to believe you're something really special today--a one-of-a-kind creation made by God in His very own image. Dare to receive His love and dare to love Him back!!!

Blessings,
