‘God created within each of us something he delights in: a precious, beautiful refl ective jewel that he values and adores; an object for his desire. In his children, he sees the refl ection of his own perfect character. He loves us despite our perceived inadequacies. He wants us to love him back, to recognise him and to know him intimately, so that we can distinguish his voice, his leading, his presence and his heart. As we look to God we see a refl ection of our selves, we see our perfection in him. Everything that God is, we are in his image. To know God, we need personal revelations of his character. Knowing God is the beginning to self-discovery.’
