I cannot escape who I am made to be
M R Lauterback
writes on our being created in the image of God, and that we cannot escape that image in us. (Emphasis mine.)
A few years ago we made friends with some very secular folks. They were into spirituality, but disliked anything that was defined. They were also living with each other. Then they decided to marry—and included us on their joyful celebration. A month later we saw them and asked how it was going. They said they were puzzled. Ever since getting married things were different—they had more arguments, their relationship had changed. They could not understand since marriage, in their thinking, was only the acceptable way of society and only a piece of paper. They married to conform. But they were running into the reality that the two had been made one by God. They could not escape.
