This picture is inspiring. It reminds me of the amazing potential we have as children of God. But what stands out most to me about this picture, besides how pretty it is, kind of throws a wet blanket on the picture's message. You see, that kitten will never actually grow into a tiger. It's biologically and genetically impossible for that kitten to become a tiger. However, in a way, that makes this picture even more inspiring.
Just as cats have biological and genetic limits, humans have those limits, too. God is immortal, and we, as humans, will never become immortal (hard as some people try). Genetically speaking, we can never become exactly like God. At least, not on our own. But the power of God can transform us, can change us from our imperfect state to a perfect state. God can turn water into wine, staves into snakes, cats into tigers, and humans into Gods. We may not know how it works, scientifically, and it's certainly not going to happen naturally, but if we do our part and God does His, literally anything is possible.
