Welcome to Thankful Thursday: His Encouragement.

Thankful Thursday

 

I am blessed to be part of a group of bloggers who’ll be sharing a bit of encouragement through Scripture verses. I hope this post blesses you as you finish the week and that you find peace, strength, and comfort in the Lord.

 

Genesis 1:27

 

I’m starting a new “series” with my Thankful Thursday: His Encouragement posts. Starting today, I’ll be writing about two verses from each book of the Bible each month. This month, I’m focusing on Genesis.

All my life, I’ve been told that I resemble certain family members in various ways, from my appearance, mannerisms, personality, or even abilities. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that you’ve been told something similar in your life, as well.

Just as we resemble our family members (be it biological or adopted families), we were also created to resemble our heavenly Father. However, those likenesses are in a slightly different way.

Everyone has disappointments, trials, pressures, failures, and heartaches. However, we also experience joy, blessings, and successes in life. Each situation is designed to refine us and make us more like the Lord. To help us know Him better.

We were created to be like Him, and that may come out in the way we relate to others, do our jobs, and care for those we love.

Together, we make up the body of Christ. It's up to us to represent Him here on earth. Through us, others should see His love. Share on X

Lord, help us to see ourselves and others through Your eyes and to reflect Your love for your creation.
