Experiment for the Week: Connecting with God’s Image in Another
Level 1
Invite someone to coffee or tea this week. Go to place where you can simply have a conversation together. Recognize that this person is also uniquely and wonderfully made in the Image of God, beloved and created with all the ferocity of God’s love too. Everything about them is unique and brilliant. Carry this idea into your conversation.
Level 2
Building on level 1, try the same thing but with a person you don’t know well. This might be a bit more awkward, but treat them with the same image-bearer truth. You may be amazed at what you learn about them, yourself, and God.
Level 3
This may be quite challenging. Spend time with someone you disagree with or don’t get along with. Our world is very divided and can even be hostile these days. As followers of Christ, we are to engage as He did. He dove into the cultural mess and brought the Kingdom to light. You are equipped to do the same.
With intense love and respect, curiosity and humility, you can engage someone you disagree with or simply don’t like. It’s incredible what God will do when you start praying for your enemies. That change is within you 9 out of 10 times.
