None of us is a complete original. We are made in the image of God. We resemble our parents and siblings. We share speech patterns and inflections. Even the clothes we choose are influenced by taste-makers. Archbishop Tutu used to say, “a person is a person through other persons.” Understanding this human design feature, St. Paul urges us to be “…imitators of God.” What a high bar! But, our faithfulness isn’t measured by us becoming a perfect replica of God, our faithfulness is measured in choosing to make God’s ways our aspiration especially when life is most trying. Our best self, decisions and work are found when we imitate God.
