You Are Special

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 were created as something really special? 

He is made you and I in the image of Himself. 

We were designed and made to have fellowship with God.

I've actually heard people say that God made man just so He'd have someone to dominate and lord over. 

Yo!! Really??

God is not a dominator. God is love (the bible says that) and love needs to give to someone. That's why God made man.... He made us so He could give us His love.

God could have given His love to the angels, and He did that. But giving to angels didn't provide total fulfillment. Why? Because angels aren't made in His image.

You know we're made the same way. It's true!!!

Here's an example: you have a puppy as a pet. (Mine jsut happens to be Leah my Bully!!) You can fellowship and love on that little pet... just so much... but then there comes a time when you need to talk to somebody. (Your puppy becomes Wilson..Cast Away) There comes a time when you need to have communication on your own level.

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

This week, today, strive to believe you're something really special --a one-of-a-kind creation made by God in His very own image. Reach out to receive His love and expect to be able to love Him back!!!

You are Special....

Have a blessed week, and enjoy this Soul Food Blog!!!
