Whose Image do i carry??

Yesterday me and my sis went for a meeting by Dr.Ravi Zacharias and here are the few things that just held my thoughts....

1) Whose image do i carry ??: This was taken from the reference wherein Jesus is questioned about paying taxes (Mark :12:14-17)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%2012:14-17;&version=9;
Jesus just simply asked them to present him a coin and asked whose image is on the coin? and ends saying " Give to Ceasar what is Caesar's and to God what is Gods".
But then no one questioned him as to what belongs to God.

There were pindrop silence in the auditorium when the speaker asked this question : "So whose image is in YOU??" . There hav been so many times when i hav associated myself with the world and proving my identity with my genes, with my blood relations and even the extent with people with same zodiac signs... Bt never really questioned myself about whose image do i actually bear on myself.
i hav always seen myself as being an image of God bt something which never struck me was that who i am depends on whose image am i ?. Thats my identity basis. The way i behave , the way i talk just speaks volumes about the image i carry. So ultimately I have HIS image on me and thats where i belong :)

2) Dont judge eternity with time but instead judge time with eternity :
How many times hav i asked God the question when? i think i hav lost count of it. Always wanted wishes to be fulfilled as soon as i prayed. Could i sound so selfish than this :)
The illustration given was too goood.....
Imagine being in a stadium in one of the farest place all u can see is the big ground and small people.. bt when you move front rows of the field ( VIP seats) the players look big and the ground looks too small..
Thats wht happens in our lives..the more closer we move to the main field which is God..the smaller my problems will seem to me...
SO very true...its just how i perceive time... Just reminds me of one verse....My times are in HIS hands....
Time cannot determine my future but its my relationship with my creator..with the Almighty ..with my father which determines where i am headed and where i will reach...
Cos at the end of the day i am sure my father would be with me and see me come HOME.....
Thats the hope....Time is just an illusion which we hold and judge things..
Makes me realise how short sited i am and how i am blinded to see what my heavenly father has in store for me..
