Just over 2 weeks ago my wife and I had a little baby girl, Bella.
One thing that always fascinates me about babies is that, even as such a young age, how much they need people. Already at 2 weeks old Bella needs people.
Needing people is not a learnt need, rather, it is a big part of who God has made us to be.
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
Being made in the image of God is not a small deal. It is huge. God did not create any other creature in His image, just humans. A big part of being made in the image of God is being relational. God is a relational God. He made us to be relational people. To be in relationship with Himself and others.
After a whole term of being out of relationship with people it shouldn’t surprise us that we are all missing people a lot. As we return to college let’s be thankful to God for who he made us to be, relational people. Let’s celebrate the people that God has put in our lives and thank God for the community here at Thomas Hassall.
Welcome back guys! I can’t wait to see you all,
God bless,
