Genesis 1

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth..." Genesis 1:1

I find it to be amazing that God made this world, and throughout the progress of making skies/seasons/plants/animals/etc. it constantly tells of what he thought of what he was doing with 3 words; it was good. God considers what he has made as good, that is- He takes delights in what he has made.

Also, sometimes it seems like it is from a third person perspective; as if God had a journalist writing down notes as he discussed and put into action his plans...

The next part of Genesis 1 that gets my attention are the following verses:

"Let us make man in our image, in our likeness" - verse 26

"So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them." - verse 27

God has made us in an image, and that image is of him... Imago Dei/Image of God (in Latin). We are not only made by Him, but we are made in the image of Him. How wonderful we are made/designed in a way that is not random, but rather we are made in His image...

Here is another verse that catches my attention...

"Be fruitful and increase in number" - verse 28

God wants us to have children - children are a gift from God, and he encourages us to have them...yea! :)
