‘Renewal’ explained

I believe when we were created, we were created in the image of God.

Gen 1:27

   King James 2000 Bible (©2003)
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them”.

For a specific purpose…

Peter 2:9

”But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”

Often we do not see anything about ourselves that reflects His image.  If our thoughts are even going in that direction we are aware of a need, a want….a desire to be as He created us to be.

  A desire for renewal.

 Col 3:10 

 New Living Translation 
“Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him”

And that I believe is the goal of our hearts.  Not a difficult trial to bear, but an enjoyable satisfying way of life.

I love words and when I see synonyms and related words, as listed in the dictionary; I am amused and helped to pinpoint different needs

  Different areas where I am not reflecting Him and to tackle each from a different perspectives…

Along a different pathway if you will.
