Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children;
Ephesians 5:1 NASB
Imitation is the best for of flattery. I don’t know who said that but they had to have kids. Because when parents see their kids they see bits and pieces of themselves. They see the spunk, energy, creativity and other characteristics that leave them saying that is my child.
We have bits and pieces of God in us but we do our very best to hide it. Somehow we don’t want people to know that we are loving, kindhearted and seek their good. Or maybe it’s because God isn’t our Father and we are somebody else’s children.
