The Head of God' by Michelangelo. We know that God the Creator is a spirit and so any picture we would paint of Him would merely be an expression of what we think God would be like based on our understanding of His nature, behavior and character.
One of the things we know about Him from His Word, starting in the book of Genesis, is that He is the creator and that He has made us to be like Him. It is His creative DNA that God has endowed us with and that is being released today in awesome waves, as Christians find new ways to do those things He has both created us for and empowers us by His Spirit to do in accomplishing Ephesians 4:11-13.
We know God does not change, but he does continually work to accomplish His will, in ways that each culture, people group and new generation can relate to and embrace. It is important that we look to Him who is 'the author and finisher of our faith' according to chapter 12 verse 2 of the book of Hebrews.
God not only wants us to do His work in th earth and grow into the measure and maturity of Christ but God our Father, wants to mend, make whole, nuture, encourage and build up His people. It is His will that we are transformed into His likeness.
Today we must seek to allow His DNA, relational nature and constant crativity to flow in and through us if we are to accomplish all That is in His heart for us.
Let us continue all that Jesus began to do and teach!

My son is always asking what God looks like. He's seen numerous pictures of Jesus, but never one of God. Thanks to you, I now have something to show him.
Thank you!
God is Love and He is the greatest love of all.
Nothing compares to His love as He confirmed in Jesus Christ our Messiah!
Happy Valentine!
:)
