The Fire-y Hebrew letters spell out STRONG TOWER, one of God's many names. In this case, standing in for God the Strong Tower, is my very petite friend, Ginger. She left home and family for a season to travel to Mozambique to love on orphans and help Heidi Baker in her ministries. As small as Ginger is on the outside her heart is huge and a fine representative of God the STRONG TOWER for these children. She took God's love to these orphans in a very real and practical way. For this image I used one of Ginger's photographs from her trip and some other images of orphans of a variety of ethnicities.
We need to be careful, cautious to represent God in a balanced way. we have to remember that God is not male and God is not female. God is spirit and is well represented by the hearts that go and share and reveal God's many faceted love to all created in God's image. Yes, those who look different, who live different, who suffer and die without opportunity are created in the image of God. We would do well to see in others the image of God.
