Made in His Image

So what is His image? If we are made in it - what is God really like? What parts of His image do we reflect.

My take on the human being image:
  • we have a physical, tangible part
  • we have emotions - happy, sad, mad, scared, fearful, tired, bitchy, irate,
  • we have thoughts - ones that bring contentment, warmth, love, peace and ones that bring us grief, suffering, depression, anxiety
  • we have an innate desire to be loved
  • we seek appreciation, acceptance and affirmation
  • we distract easily
  • we judge others harshly
  • we all think we are right
  • we have basic survival requirements: food, water, clothing, shelter
  • we like to have purpose to our lives
  • we have a beginning and end in the physical world
  • we live according to measurable time
  • we are constantly growing and changing physically, emotionally and spiritually
  • we often have to repeat the same experience over and over again until we learn the nugget of truth
  • we love - but pitifully
My take on God's image:
  • His physical, tangible part is in creation 
  • I'm not sure where He fits in with emotions - he is neither happy nor sad, he just is
  • I'm not sure where He fits in with thoughts. It doesn't make sense that he would have depression thoughts, so could he in turn have only happy thoughts? What if he didn't have any thoughts at all. No scale of good vs. bad, but that all have equal value
  • He has an innate desire to be loved
  • He does not need appreciation, acceptance and affirmation
  • He is focused
  • I'm not sure where He fits in with judging others harshly, to me he seems the role model of acceptance and love 
  • He is right
  • He has no basic survival requirements
  • He is - no purpose required
  • He has no beginning and end
  • He exists outside of time
  • He never changes, always remains the same in His intricacies 
  • He is supremely powerful
  • He can call anything into existence ie. money, health, circumstances, nature
  • He can heal any illness or dis-ease
  • He can be fully present with any human being at any time simultaneously
  • He can make anything reality - against all laws, bylaws, deadlines, lineup
  • He see's good in everything
  • He loves everyone - without clarification, expectation, change
  • He is beyond human comprehension
I'm not seeing a lot of image sharing here. What's up with the human being race? Have we missed the mark of our potential?
