A Cherry On Top!

I've been doing alot of thinking about how we are made in God's image and what exactly that might mean. God is always showing me more and more as I look for the ways He's created us alot like Him. As I become aware of other ways we are like our Dad, I'll post them here.


I was just reading a story to my neice about tiny things that God made. One of the pages grabbed my attention more than the rest. It was talking about how God sprinkled the stars in the sky. This made me think of how children love to have sprinkles on their cup cakes and ice cream. I brought this to my neices attention by telling her "Hey! God likes sprinkles too! Just like we do!" and she smiled and agreed. So I kinda' think the stars were put in the sky by the childlike quality that God has within Him. I'm not saying that God is immature by referring to Him as childlike. I'm saying that God is the very essence of what a child is in their perfect beauty, pureness of heart, and creative nature. Like many children, if God were to create an ice cream sundae, it would have lots of sprinkles and whipped cream and a cherry on top!

When I was little, my aunts and uncles taught me how to ask mom and dad for something by saying "Pretty please....with a cherry on top". That "cherry on top" was suppose to make things better. It's always been my favorite part since I was a little kid. When God makes something, He always puts a cherry on top. It's just better that way because it's the most important part.

If you feel like God doesn't love you or even notice you, ask yourself a question. "How long has it been since I took a bite of the cherry on top?" Maybe it's time you go outside and find a quiet spot in the night and look up at all the sprinkles God put in the sky. The earth is God's bowl of ice cream and when He created it, He put all the whipped cream and sprinkles on it He wanted and the very last thing He did was put a cherry on top. You know what?

We are the cherry and His favorite part!
