My thought today is that we are not only made in God’s image (created to reflect God’s holiness and love) but also in His “non-image”. This translates into just as we can’t physically see God, but we feel His love and closeness with us, our love and being close can be with another, even when they can’t see us — or us them.
Being made in God’s “non-image” is a priceless gift from our Heavenly Father that we often don’t recognize. However, once we do, it places great assurance on our never abandoning or not being present with our loved ones.
While my Mother, Father and Hubby are enjoying their eternal reward, I might be robbed of their physical image by my side’ but their, also, being made in God’s “non-image” enables me to feel their love and encouragement, forever, next to me. In parallel, when my children are miles from my eyes’ gaze, they can sense my love and encouragement fervently beside them.
Thank you, God, for creating Your earthly children in, and with, the gift of both Your image and Your “non-image”.
