Guided 365 Day Reflection Journal

When preparing for today, think about the following: We Were Created in the Image and Likeness of God.

Food For Thought

Today's scripture reminds us that we were made in God's likeness. He gave us the ability to think, feel, and choose just as He does so we could have the ability to have a personal relationship with Him.

He gave us a purpose and laid out a plan for our life even before we were born. We were created to love as He loves the Son. He has been our example of what relationships are supposed to be - based on love for which He gave us freely and willingly, not because we were entitled to it, but because He wanted to. He chooses to love us first and show us what His character and unfailing love look like.

That's something special! And it should remind us that no matter where our journey leads us, no matter how wonderful it gets or how hard the storm rages, God is good. He has given us His love so that we can trust Him and go confidently on the path He lays before us.

Gratitude

Today is a good day to be alive and to be grateful. Celebrate the gift of life and express our gratefulness to God for creating us in His own image. Today, let's take time to appreciate the small things that make life so special. Let's be thankful for everything we have been blessed with and count all our joy!

What are you grateful for?

Lord, You have made us in Your image and likeness that we could love as You love the Son. Our relationship is based on love for which You gave us free will to love in response, not because we could only love but because You have chosen to love us first and shown us Your character and love so that we can trust You. Amen
