What a Doll You Are!

A True Woman says, "Yes, Lord."

She believes that God's purposes for creating male and female are good and wise.

• Genesis 1:26-28a "Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."  And God created man in His own image, in the image of God, He created him; male and female He created them.  And God blessed them;

Not only was man created in the image of God, but woman was created in His image also.  The word image is the same word used for idol in Scripture. We are not God, but we are little models or statues of God.  We have been created in His image.  Think about God's attributes.     Who He is and what has He created within us.

He is righteousness.      We have a conscience.

He is sovereign.       We have responsibility.

He is love.       We have a heart and personality to love.

He is omniscience.      We have a mind and ability to think.

He is eternal.      We are immortal.

God has created us to be His likeness, His model, His little statue on this earth.  

*When Alison was a child she played with Barbie dolls (please, don't judge :-).  She even had the dream house and lots of little accessories. She would dress them, pose them, tell them when to eat and sleep, redress them and play for hours.  You are God's Barbie.  You are His "action figure".  Just as Barbie represents Mattel.  You represent God.  You are God's doll created in His image.

*Disclaimer:  I know that this may not be the best example or analogy, but I think you get the picture.  Instead of Barbie, I guess I could have used Cabbage Patch or Troll.  I prefer to picture myself as Barbie!
