I'm reading CEV this time instead of my usual KJV or NKJV because I think that when I read the scripture in one translation for awhile I start to miss subtle meanings and truths.

I got caught on the idea this morning that out of everything God created, we are the only ones made in His image. I feel like I've been failing Him lately. I'm not sure it is His image that people see when they look at me. When I do something good I take the praise for myself, and when I mess up....well....you get the drift. I really hope that starting this devotional time and reading through the scriptures will help change that. I want to be able to make God smile, not want to reach for a bottle of Excedrin.

Genesis 1:27
