What You Meant for Evil God Meant for Good
To image God effectively, you need, when offended by others, to recognize the majesty of God and to refrain from taking His role as judge. You must, like Joseph, son of Jacob, discern the majestic will of the Almighty God overshadowing the evil intentions of your opponents. It is the best way to shine for God and to experience affirmation and fulfillment in your life and work.

Caring is your greatest obligation or responsibility in life. You must care as Jesus Christ who demonstrated His love for you with relentless care. He laid His life on the cross because He cared for you and He still does.

You were created by God in His image for an awesome, amazing purpose: to shine forth for Him!
God chose to create you in His image or likeness for an awesome, amazing purpose:

embody, and represent Him and His will or purpose here on earth. You are, therefore, an ambassador
of His Eternal Kingdom here on earth. You represent God in the way you function, structure or formulate your thoughts/ideas (think),
and relate with Him and your fellow human beings. Precisely, you image God with your behaviors, thoughts, and
relationships. -

or reflect His will in your way of life. It's purely a matter of choice. -
You and I were created by God in His image or likeness to trust Him and have hope in Him
God created you in His image or likeness to trust Him and have hope in Him as your Creator and Provider.
God want you to trust Him in the same way a child trusts his or her parents. God also wants you to live
hopefully and thankfully for the care, love, and protection that He provides you daily. God wants you to live
optimistically not pessimistically because you are His precious creature and He has your best interests at heart. -
