what does it really mean to see someone as an image-bearer of God? How can I fully comprehend the imago dei when understanding the Creator of that image is beyond words?

What does it mean to see myself as an image-bearer of God? How do I see myself for who I really am? The good and the bad?

Camp has made me ask this question even more. I wrote a reflection for group about the image of God, but what words and experiences have I had that really capture this idea? Working with people with disabilities has definitely changed how I think about imago dei, but I still feel so uneducated, unable to express or comprehend the beauty and majesty of God found in each human being.

What does this even mean? What does it mean that we each bear a unique aspect of God's image?

Here's to the end of a wonderful story and the start of another!
