Imago Dei

It means "in God's image". Mark wrote a post on how everyone is beautiful. Go read it, it's good.
I know at different times I am also reminded of the fact that all people are made in God's image, which not only makes them beautiful, but I am also reminded that the depraved things that we do are as a result of the fall and Satan lying to us. It is so sad how sick and twisted some people have allowed themselves to become. And God loves the lowest of the low and wants to have a relationship with them just the same as me.
Sobering thought.
And encouraging at the same time, because the things that I do that are wrong are just as bad in God's eyes.
But He still made me in His image, and I am beautiful, and He loves me intensely and wants a relationship with me.
