Created in His Image

Have you read the creation story lately? Take a few moments to do so now. Read it slowly and listen to the Lord as he reveals his personality to you...let him talk to you and tell you how very special you are daughter. Notice that God Created all things at his spoken word and they were considered good. Then something awesome happened in Verse 26 of Chapter 1 - He stepped into his creation, reached out a personal hand, and he scooped up dust and created man. Up to this point all things came into existance at his spoken word - as if that were not awesome enough he decided to take things to a personal level when he created mankind. He thought about man as he formed him, thought of his days, and every part he made. When he saw man it was good so he set man to work and lay down the rules, but toward the end of the day he saw that something was still missing in his creation. So he created woman. The creation of woman is so important that he devotes several verses in Chapter two to this moment in time. You see he made you,daughter, out of bone (ivory), you were precious and delicate - created to be the crowning jewel of all creation. A helpmeet to Adam - a special friend. Then God does something I find truly amazing! He blesses them: A birthright blessing, a personal I love you from God! At this he saw his creation and it was VERY GOOD (verse 30 Chapter 1). Not just ordinary good, not just standard - - it was VERY GOOD! It was complete and perfect. Look closely, dear one, the Lord took time to create and form you. All other things were spoken but you - you were created. You were thought about, made for a purpose, set apart, the crown of creation, delicate, precious, valuable, beautiful. Bask today in God's love, hear him whisper to you how very special you are to him.
