Let us make man in our image.—Gen. 1:26.

 

Jehovah honored us by making us in his image. Because we are made in God’s image, we can develop and manifest many of his wonderful qualities, such as love, compassion, loyalty, and righteousness. (Ps. 86:15; 145:17) As we cultivate such qualities, we honor Jehovah and prove that we are grateful to him. (1 Pet. 1:14-16) When we behave in a way that pleases our heavenly Father, we are happy and satisfied. And by making us in his image, Jehovah gave us the ability to become the kind of people he wants in his family. Jehovah prepared a special home for us. Long before he created the first man, Jehovah prepared the earth for humans. (Job 38:4-6; Jer. 10:12) Because he is thoughtful and generous, Jehovah provided an abundance of good things for us to enjoy. (Ps. 104:14, 15, 24) At times, he reflected on his creative work, and he “saw that it was good.”—Gen. 1:10,12, 31. w21.08 3 ¶5-6

Jéhovah a béni l’humanité

... and in a thousand years, darling Bea, beautiful, perfect humanity will finally bless Him as He deserves. Let's beg for our mouths to be present on that day, and us with.🥰

Thank you, Sister Annie for your labour of love. It's is such a delight to share bible thoughts with our friends on the forum. 

I sent this daily text to an acquaintance and I inserted his name (he's a smoker for 5 decades) in the appropriate places. Not hoping for anything to change in his life.

I realized late that I should have used MSWord to replace the pronoun with the name. Not clever, me 🤣
