Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
We belong to God, for we are made in his image. In modern times we are taught to cling fiercely to our independence and self-reliance. It is a bad thing, we are told, to rely on someone else, or to allow anyone to have any kind of claim over us. In some cases these lessons have validity, but not so in our faith. We belong to God. We are his. This is not meant to imply slavery. This is meant to imply the good news that since we belong to God, God will take care of us. Being made in God's image is a blessing, for in being made in God's image we receive a promise from God that he will watch over us and help us in our journey of faith. Celebrate your image, your identity as being God's. God bless you.
Pastor Josh
