In His Image, Not the World's

People are always asking if the twins have different personalities. Yes they do. Big Sis is very independent. She is almost always in a happy mood. She’s the boss too. Maybe it’s a birth order thing. Little Sis is more of a lap baby. She has the cutest little laugh. But she is shyer and it takes her longer to warm up to people or new places.

We are all made in God’s image (Genesis 1:27) but he made us all as individuals. No two alike. The girls are fraternal so they do not look alike. They have many similarities in their looks and personalities but they are both unique individuals. They’ve learned things at close yet different paces. We dress them alike but I’m sure as they get older and can pick out what to wear on their own, they will dress differently.

Psalm 139:14:
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Our creator had everything, I mean everything, planned out. We did not evolve from a single celled blob nor from an ape. We were created in His image by a loving, caring God. By His own hands.

Today’s society has made body image seem to be more important than “heart” image. The old saying “it’s what’s on the inside that counts” doesn’t have any meaning any more.

Bebo Norman has a new song out called “Britney”. And yes, it’s actually based on the rise and fall of THAT pop star. But as you read these lyrics, replace her name with your own daughter’s, or son’s…the world is telling them the same thing. We should remind our children that they are made in His image, not that of the world.


Britney I’m sorry for the lies we told
We took you into our arms and then left you cold
Britney I’m sorry for this cruel, cruel world
We sell the beauty but destroy the girl

Britney I’m sorry for your broken heart
We stood aside and watched you fall apart
I’m sorry we told you fame would fill you up
And money moves the man so drink the cup

I know love goes around the world we know
And you never see it coming back
You never see it coming back
I know love goes around the world we know
And you never see it coming back
But I can see it coming back for you
Yes coming back for you

Britney I’m sorry for the stones we throw
We tear you down just so we can watch the show
Britney I’m sorry for the words we say
We point the finger as you fall from grace

I know love goes around the world we know
And you never see it coming back
You never see it coming back
And I know love goes around the world we know
And you never see it coming back
But I can see it coming back for you
Yeah, its coming back for you, yeah, its coming back for you.

Britney I do believe that love has come
Here for the broken
Here for the ones like us

I know love goes around the world we know
And you never see it coming back
You never see it coming back
And I know love goes around the world we know
And you never see it coming back
But I can see it coming back Its coming back for you... yeah

Take a listen...it is actually a really good song.
