Our true selves as a reflection of God

Everything that God has made is a reflection of Him in some way.  Every tree, bug, bird, or person expresses a thought of God and therefore is a vision of God.  A tree or a flower or a bug is what it was created to be and by simply being what God created it to be is itself perfectly following the will of God.  A tree doesn't try to be a bird or a bug try to be a flower, they simply are as God intended them to be.

Human beings on the other hand are not content to be what God made us to be or do what God created us to do.  If God created us to be an accountant in a small town with a simple life with a family, we aren't happy.  We want to be more important, in a bigger town, with a wildly successful family.  We put on airs and we sin to fool ourselves and those around us into thinking we are someone else.  Instead of being saints where we are, we waste time being someone God doesn't know.
