“We’re only human.” Yes… your point? Let’s face it – it’s always used as an excuse. Why? Doesn’t everyone know this? Of course. Then why say it? I believe it’s because we need to explain why something that didn’t work in the way it was thought… didn’t. Or as a kind of ‘apology’ for what was/wasn’t said or done. Is this an understandable response? It’s at least an oft used one. But being ‘human’ is not an excuse, it is a statement that should never be made lightly.
“Then God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our
likeness… And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became
a living being.” (Genesis 1:26, 2:7)
This is no little thing. This is momentous! Look again at what is said – made in Our image, likeness; formed of the dust of the ground; breathed into; a living being. Do you see how wondrous this is? Actually the question should be, when will man (including woman) become that which he was created to be and do? The God of the Universe decided that He would make man in His likeness and breathed into us life! When will we stop believing a lie? We are Human and that’s a wonderful ‘status’.
Yes… we are human. Yes… we make mistakes. And Yes… we are also kind and happy and helpful and … Ultimately you should celebrate that you are human – open to correction, positive in your allegiance to your Creator, and overly delighted that you are able, through Him who strengthens you. Never compromise who you are and what you are designed to do. God has chosen to work with and through us. To me, this is a statement and badge of honor.
As long as you embrace that You are a child of God, then you have a living Hope within you. As long as you have accepted Jesus as Lord, then you are His workmanship created for good works. It’s because you are Human that you are able to be all that you can be. You are always a living being… it’s your choice as to what this means.
