you look yellow in this light
streetlight above the land of love
tarnished names and pulled strings; no muscle spared
no soul left alive. each tree growing on the side of this road is going to weep come sunlight; they’ve lost so many brothers
//// she grabs my hand
Our primary point of identity—as a man or as a woman—is as an image-bearer of God. We exist to reveal and reflect His likeness for all the world to see. There is no greater truth that highlights our worth and our value. It follows, then, that a main way in which we “image” God is by ruling over the earth. We are stewards of His kingdom and caretakers of His creation… we are created to grow in our likeness of God. [So] think about these questions: Since “image-bearer of God” and “caretaker of creation” are key aspects of your identity, do you need to change the ways you think and act? Are there any ways in which you might [rightfully] act differently toward someone else, since they also share that identity?
