Reflection

Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do,

because you are his dear children.

Live a life filled with love,

following the example of Christ.

Eph 5:1-2 (NLT)

As I look out at the sunrise, I see a unique configuration of mountain peaks in mirror image.  I have been intrigued by these mountains every since we began driving up here.  They remind me that, as mirror images of our father, we are reflectors of God's glory.  

Children naturally imitate their parents.  They are sensitive to every word, facial expression and tone. As we look to Jesus and become familiar with his spirit and his ways, we become sensitive and aware and are able to moderate our behavior moment by moment to reflect his loving character.  We become his representatives in every situation we find ourselves.

Lord, help us stay focused on you so that in every moment we may be like mirrors reflecting your glorious love.

But we all,

with open face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord,

are changed into the same image from glory to glory,

by the Spirit of the Lord.

2 Cor 3:18 (KJV)
