What
we have seen and [ourselves] heard, we are also telling you, so that
you too may realize and enjoy fellowship as partners and partakers with
us. And [this] fellowship that we have [which is a distinguishing mark
of Christians] is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ (the
Messiah).
– 1 John 1:3, The Amplified Bible

Man is something really special. He is made in the image of God. He is made to have fellowship with God.
Some
people get the idea that God made man so He’d have someone to dominate.
But God is not a dominator. God is love and love needs to have someone
to give to. That’s why God made man. He made him, so He could give him
His love.
God could have given His love to the angels, and He did
that. But giving to angels didn’t provide total fulfillment. Why?
Because angels aren’t made in His image.
You’re the same way.
Let’s say, for example, you have a puppy as a pet. You can fellowship
with that little pet just so much, but then there comes a time when you
need someone to talk to. There comes a time when you need to have
communication on your own level.
The reason you’re like that is
because you’re created in the image of God. That’s how He is. He has a
desire to fellowship with someone like Himself.
Dare to believe
you’re something really special today—a one-of-a-kind creation made by
God in His very own image. Dare to receive His love and dare to love Him
back!
