Prayer Prompt #50: Made in His Image

So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

Genesis 1:27 (NIV)

And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

2 Corinthians 3:18 (NIV)

“You look just like me!”  I’m still in awe to have a little person that so closely resembles me.  Sometimes I gaze at my children and am filled with wonder at how God made their features to look like me and my husband. The resemblance is beautiful, signifying belonging and connection to one’s parents.

I want to look like my Heavenly Father. I hope that when people see me, they catch a glimpse of His character.

Dear LORD, You made my children to resemble me, just as you intend Your children to resemble You.  Transform me more and more into Your image with ever-increasing glory. May my character resemble Yours in all I say and do and think in my heart. In Jesus’ name, amen.
