Imago Dei (Image of God) Video

O my...I found this video very powerful.
This video is a poetical reflection on what it means to be made in the image of God.
Genesis 1:26-27 records the origin of mankind (that includes all of us), in which our Creator declared,

"Let us make man in Our image, and after Our likeness....So God created man in His own image. In the image of God created He him, male and female created He them."

But I'll be real (to my feelings at least), much of the time, words haven't had any significance to me.... as if they were just another bible story. I have discovered that it is indeed not. But that is for each one of us to personally discover.  Please reflect on this video as offering something of the reality of who you are.

But if that is the reality of who we are, the next problem might be that we don't feel like we resemble God at all.  He is so God and perfect and Loving, and Almighty, and we seem to be very opposite of those things.

While in part, it is true that we are not wholly like God, that is not the whole story...........HIS SON HAS COME! and as this video says,  Jesus "reveals my very self to me."  Jesus is the revelation of who we were meant to be, and when we receive His Spirit, He causes us to get plugged into to this original plan and story of God (His(story)).  I am excited!! I can wait to share this video with people.
