Images

Hai friends,

I'd like to jot down a thought that came across my mind yesterday...

I just remembered how an image is formed by a lens... the light from an object gets refracted at the lens and gives rise to a real or virtual image... there , i read a term called 'stigmatic image'.

Stigmatic image is supposed to be an image which is exactly the replica of the object except for the magnification...

It can be a magnified or minified image but it exactly resembles the object in its relative dimensions...

whereas when the image is distorted it is called an astigmatic image .exactly contrary to stigmatic images ... And lo! u can never discern what the object looked like seeing the image ...

The Word says (about us ),

" he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son "...Rom 8:29

and

"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness " Gen 1:26

We were created in the image of our creator.. the personality of Adam reflected a stigmatic image of His creator as he went about naming animals tenderly taking care of the garden entrusted to His care... and sin marred the image ...

how stigmatic is the image of God reflected from our lives?

Do our lives offer a clear cut image of our creator to the world?

Or are we astigmatic? ....
