A.I.: Artificial IdentitySample

Have you ever been to an art gallery? Part of what’s so beautiful about art is that so much of it is open to your interpretation. Even though each piece has characteristics, attributes, colors, and techniques that might inform its meaning, only its creator can truly speak to what it means. While we can make assumptions or have our own interpretations, the only one who can tell us its authentic purpose in this world is the artist who made it. In the same way, God created us. With that, God speaks about exactly how we’re created: in God’s image. What’s cool is that no other part of creation was created in God’s image. As humans, we’re distinct. We’re meant to be set apart from the rest of creation. We’re meant to be seen as God’s image in this world. So, don't leave it open to interpretation when it comes to what you think about yourself. Let who God says you are and what God says about your existence be the only interpretation you let hold weight.

Today, invite God to speak to all that you authentically are. Think about how you see God’s image in yourself and pray that you’d reflect it to the rest of the world, too.
