"God created man in His own image" (Gen. 1). What a glorious fact! Let us revel in it. We are children of God: potential gods! "I have said that ye are gods, and all of you children of the Most High" (Psa. 82). It is an earnest and a promise. But the corporeal shape is only the barest beginning. It must be our life's obsession to implore God to complete the process, and to yield ourselves wholly to His hand. "It is God that worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure" (Phil. 2) -- but only if we are striving mightily to learn and practice Godlikeness every moment of our lives.
