The True Image of Love

Monday Devotion

“So God created man in his own image, in the image, in the image of God he created them: male and female he created them.”

Genesis 1:27

“What does she see in him?”

I’d be surprised if you haven’t, at least once in your life, asked this question about a couple you’ve met.  Maybe the genders were reversed: “What does he see in her?” but it’s likely you, too, have asked this—or, at the very least, thought it.

I believe the answer is hidden in a divine and prophetic reality.  God has made us in such a way that it is natural for us to grow strongly attached to someone—on occasion, to someone many others may have passed over. 

Why?

Two realities are going on.  First, God has a way of revealing himself to us in surprising places—or, in this case, through surprising people.  Anyone who has any history of walking with God can testify how Go often seems to keep quiet during the weekend fasting retreat, but while you move the clothes from the washer to the dryer, or while you shampoo our hair in the shower, he speaks.  He has made us in his own image, and he has the ability and the will to reveal that image to us as he sees fit.
