beginning

Genesis 1:26

26 Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”

Notice God speaks of God’s self in the plural. In the Christian tradition, we see this as a clear indication of the Trinity. In the context it makes so much sense. God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is enjoying abundant life together from eternity, and now wants to share this mutual self-giving love, encouragement, and joy with us. Somehow, even our care giving of the creatures of the earth will take part in this.

What can you do today to give yourself to God?
