Of all the spectacular majesties produced by the Creator, He chose to cast His image upon man! On the crowning day of His creation, God gathered dust and tenderly, intentionally fashioned man in His own likeness. He then exhaled life into the singular point of His handiwork that was created to reflect God’s glory back to the Father. “God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:17).

And His work continues! Our loving Father is intimately involved with EVERY new life conceived for He “knit me together in my mother’s womb” (Psalm 139:13b). His image is reflected in the fingerprints and heartbeat of EVERY unborn child. As He knits, He places within each child unique talents, gifts and a personality that can show the world different aspects of Himself.

Although sin’s haze dulled man’s reflection of God’s glory, He is about the business of refashioning His people into His likeness through ADOPTION! Our Father made us His children, even co-heirs with Christ Jesus by adopting us into His family! “And we, who with unveiled faces all reflectthe Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit” (2 Cor. 3:18).

In creating us, God has given His people a voice. Let us use it to join together as His children to promote adoption for those children who most need their futures refashioned as God has done for us.
