Day 1 of 41 Thank you Lord for Creating me in Your image

 One thing I have observed is that we have unconsciously ignored this aspect of thanking God for creating us in his image. 

Many times, we even tell God he would have made us this way or that way.

Be Intentional about this, thank God for creating you in His image. 

While thanking God for creating me in His image, I remembered a song we sang as children:

                    If I were a butterfly 

                    I’d thank you, Lord, 

                    for giving me wings;

                   And if I were a robin in a tree,

                   I’d thank you Lord, 

                   that I could sing;

                  And if I were a fish in the sea,

                  I’d wiggle my tail and 

                  I’d giggle with glee;

                  But I just Thank You Father, 

                  for making me – ME!

                  ’Cause you gave me a heart and

                   You gave me a smile

                   You gave me Jesus, and

                   You made me His Child

                   And I just Thank You, Father

                   For making me – ME!

God created and brought other creatures to the world by speaking his words but then when he got to man:

“Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness. They will rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, all the earth, and the creatures that crawl on the earth." ( Genesis 1:26)

We have been granted a special position and a divine dignity as people since we were made in God's image. It implies that God has distinguished us and created us as unique beings in this universe. As Christians, we must never overlook the importance of this unique honour that God has bestowed upon the entire human race. This is the more reason why you should thank him for creating you in His image. 

Meaning - You are special

• Imagine if we were mosquitoes, we would have been killed with only a Big Clap🤣🤣🤣
• Imagine if we were lizards, we would have been chased around and we will be wondering around basking under the hot sun and if possible we would have been killed with stones.

But God in his infinite Love made us unique and special in His image. 

- We have unique unequal fingers and toes

- We have great and beautiful Nose

- We can talk and laugh

-We can even cry to express our emotions.

I can go on and on

Right now, look at yourself 

Go check yourself in the mirror and then say 'Dear Lord, thank you for creating me in your image' 

Don't forget Psalm 139:14;

(KJV translation) I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

(Message Translation) I thank you, High God - you're breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration - what a creation!

Consciously and Intentionally, begin to thank God for creating you in His Image.
