Do You See God in Others?

"If we do not see God in each other, it is very difficult to love." [Mother Teresa, page 292, The Joy in Loving]

When you look at people as creations of God, it changes your perspective of people.

Know they are made in their creators image. Genesis 9:6 says "for in the image of God has God made man." Psalm 100:3 says, "Know that the Lord is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people..." Acts 17:29 says "we are God's offspring." Romans 8:16 says "we are God's children." I Corinthians 3:9 says, "we are God's fellow workers." Ephesians 2:10 says "we are God's workmanship."

So be advised, as C.S. Lewis told us, "There are no ordinary people. You have never met a mere mortal."
