DO RE MI

Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start, when you read you begin with A B C when you sing you begin with DO RE MI... One of my all time favorite songs. I only bring it up because today I opened up my daily devotional and it was a passage from Genesis 1. THE VERY BEGINNING. I wondered, "how am I going to learn anything from this? I already know that God made us and I believe in creation and how everything came into existence. I've heard the stories of Adam and Eve countless times, what more is there to get?" As I was reading in Genesis 1:27 I came across the all famous verse, "So God created man in his OWN image, in the image of God he created him. male and female he created them." Why did God create us? Was it to have someone to dominate over? If it were then why did He create us IN HIS IMAGE? I believe and know wholeheartedly that God is full of love and needed/needs to give that love to someone/all of us. He longs for us to be accepting of it as well and to show it back to Him in our daily actions and lives. I never realized until this morning after reading and God speaking to me that He could have given all of His love to the angels but he chose us instead. Not the animals or the fish or the plants and the trees. He chose US. you, me. How amazing is that when you really begin to think about it? If I had all the power and love to give in the world I'm not sure if I would be able to hand it out to people whom I knew were not going to be acceptive of it at times and were going to spit in my face and say wrongful things about me. Praise the Lord God did not have this mindset. He has a desire to fellowship with someone like Himself, so I need to be daring to believe that I am someone special and a ONE OF A KIND creation. The linguistic definition of DOMINATOR is "to be connected with (a subordinate node) either directly by a single downward branch or indirectly by a sequence of downward branches." Now, I'm not big into linguistics or into it all for that matter but what I see from this and I hope someone will correct me if this can't be interpreted this way but I like to think outside the box. I see God as a DOMINATOR in this sense because He is the vine and we are the branches, and as we reach out to others and share God's love with them we add branches to the family tree and continue adding them in a sequenced pattern so to say.
So, why did God create me? So that He would have someone whom He could talk to and love and although I like to talk I sure haven't done enough of it over the years to the one who designed and formed me specifically for Him. Lord, I pray that from this moment on I would be reminded daily of your love for me and the critical need to speak with you about my inhibitions, thoughts, desires and requests. That I would feel comfortable knowing you are waiting to hear from me and you long to share yourself with me as well. Thank you for being this awesome loving God who in a loving vinelike sense does dominate and branch out to us when you did not have to. I pray that I would spread your word and your love to someone new today and if it be your will they become a part of this family tree. Bless each person who reads your word commits to abide by it and chooses to love you with their whole heart that you created for them. I ask this in your name, Amen.
