I’m interested in your perception.  Do you see God as an angel with wings and a lighted background? Do you see him more ancient-times-looking, perhaps a Moses look alike, with maybe a long white beard and robe? Or is your “photo” of God, like artists depict Jesus, the middle eastern darker skin, black beard-look.

Hebrews 1:1 refers to him as “the very image of his substance” and Colossians 1:15 reveals Jesus as “the image of the invisible God”. Revelation 1:14-16 “His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters.

As believers, we learned we are created in God’s image.  That does not mean God looks like your great-grandfather. I believe it means God is Spirit and His spirit lives within us. Sending Jesus in human-form helped new believers see Him as “like them,” trusting in His existence.

Does what God looks like really matter to you? Your life choices and belief in God is what is paramount. Does He exist for you? He has chosen you as His child to love unconditionally.  Are you living under His guidance and laws for salvation? Many of those who have had out-of-body experiences of “seeing the light” have become changed people. They felt the confirmation of heaven and God in control. No photo necessary. Trust. Your tiny mustard seed of faith will grow with your belief.
