Made in His Image

The God said, "Let Us make man in Our image."Genesis 1:26, NKJV

Imagine God's creativity. Of all we don't know about the creation, there is one thing we do know–he did it with a smile. he must've had a blast. Painting the stripes on the zebra, hanging the stars in the sky, putting the god in the sunset. What creativity! Stretching the neck of the giraffe, putting the flutter in the mockingbird's wings, planting the giggle in the hyena.

What a time he had. Like a whistling carpenter in his workshop, he loved every bit of it. He poured himself into the work. So intent was his creativity that he took a day off at the end of the week just to rest.

And then, as a finale to a brilliant performance, he made man.
With his typical creative flair, he began with a useless mound of dirt and ended up with an invaluable species called a human.

A human who had the unique honor to bear the stamp, "In His Image."
