“So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.”
Why did God need to create two genders in order to create mankind in his own image?
Could it be because of the value He places on relationships?
Men and women need each other in order to understand who God is. We need each other in order to reflect God’s image to the rest of the world. Neither one of us can do it ourselves.
This goes beyond marriage relationships. In the Church, men and women need to be working together, relating well to each other, striving to be unified, loving and serving each other, in order to present to the world the image of God that we bear together.
Sixpence None the Richer has a lyric: "My thoughts were like willow branches caught in autumn winds." That is a perfect description of my brain. This blog is where I get those thoughts out of my head and into the world.
