So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Genesis 1: 27
Therefore, each one of us has the capacity to become like Christ.

By his death on a cross the veil has been torn
Do I want to look more like Jesus?
Then I must look to Him.
No more dwelling on the things of this world.
He is my maker. I am the clay.
He is my Father. I am his child.
To set the mind on the flesh is death,
but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.
Romans 8: 6
Do I want peace? Then I must look to Him.
Do I want to know joy? Then I must look to Him.
Do I want to be self-controlled? Then I must look to him.
Etc. Etc.
We are made in his image. We are his children. Therefore, let us reflect our Heavenly Father.
Even common thoughts on human development can help point the way. A child reflects the one holding them in their hands. It is true. In looking at a parent who smiles, a son or daughter will respond with a smile.
iCommit to Begin Anew: I will turn my head towards him, look up, and boldly gaze into the eyes of God; the one who holds me (& you) in his hands.
It’s a very intimate place to be. Full of love and grace . . . and mercy!
