Theme: My creaturely dependence on God. God continually creates me, continually gives me new life.
Desire: Amazement at my existence and at how God relates to me
Teaser: Genesis 1: 26–28. “Let us make human beings in our image, in our likeness, … So God created humans in God’s own image, in the image of God they were created; male and female God created them.”
Comprehending this most unfathomable fact that we are created in God’s image and likeness to the extent that we can is crucial to engaging in the Spiritual Exercises journey. Have you ever stopped to contemplate how you reflect God’s image & likeness?
