Daddy God is asking us to lose our image so we can have His image formed in us! This is a great exchange! We surrender our life for His! In this life we all face the idolatry of ourselves. This selfishness is rooted in pride which causes us to look inward instead of look upward at Christ, who is the very exact representation of the Father!
When we loose our image we can begin to allow Christ to be formed in us, the hope of glory!
Colossians 1:27New International Version
27 To them God has chosen to make known(A) among the Gentiles the glorious riches(B) of this mystery, which is Christ in you,(C) the hope of glory.
