Within the past year or so, I have observed many things around me which have a vast variety of options. The list is endless but these are some of the items I've noticed which come with a wide spectrum of differences:
- hair - color, type...
- facial features - shape, size...
- body build...
- Foods - colors, texture, flavor...
- Flowers - size, colors, density, aroma, length of life...
- animals - size, shape, voice, coat, temperament, diet...
- climate...
- terrain...
And according to Genesis 1, His creation is all good; His creation of humans is very good.
Do I have a point I'm making with these observations?
My decision today to change the "look" of my blog provided a tiny window into the world of creation. I had nearly endless options for LOTS of things with which I could customize my blog. As I evaluated many of my choices, I gained a new appreciation for God's creation. He designed this world and all in it with care and perfection. I am grateful that He did not allow me to chose the design of my own body but I am grateful that He allows me to have been created in His image so that I can express my individuality in small ways such as selecting a new look for a blog. And I'm VERY grateful for the clever, talented minds who have provided the program diversity which allowed me to "create" a fresh face for my blog.
Genesis 1:27
So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
