Since God wants us to love and cherish others, we must see our neighbour in Him.

    Ah! What a difference that makes, seeing people in Him. I like it! I guess doing both at the same time is ideal.

      It’s always nice to have a corrective of some sort to another image. All images are just images and need to be taken together. =)

        That’s a wonderful way to put it :-)
        I suppose it’s like a prism; different aspects are revealed in different ways and we need to first be humble enough to not think we have all the answers (I think sometimes we think it shows a lack of faith to not know the answers to all the questions), so that we recognise that one facet is just one facet – and then let God show us the different ‘views'(?) of Himself. It is very humbling when He does, and inevitably beautiful. How difficult it is to put these things into words!
