“Our Reflection of Him”
by Dona Hake
Today it is on my heart to encourage you with this question…”What does your life reflect?” I believe that as we immerse ourselves in His Word and in His presence we will find that each day our lives are reflecting our Lord. As I am typing I am thinking about how in a world full of turmoil and fear as it is today that we be reflecting the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ. The scripture from Psalm 23 is on my mind…”He leads me beside the still waters.” As one stands over a body of still water you can look down and see your face. I love the thought of dwelling in that place of stillness because that is what my soul is going to reflect to those around me.
God has commanded us to live as Jesus lived. Within us dwells His life, light, and love. He intends to bless our lives, but He desires that we give it out as well. There is a greater work needed here on earth like never before and He is looking for those that will reflect that He is the answer to a lost and dying world. How do you reflect the Son? Think about how He desires to reflect Himself through you. Just think about it…within you are all the good things that He is because you have ask Him to abide within you. As He lives within us and we seek to abide in Him, let us seek how we can effectively reflect all the glorious things that He is!
1 John 2: 6 Amplified Bible (AMP)
“Whoever says he abides in Him ought as a personal debt to walk and
conduct himself in the same way in which He walked and conducted
Himself.”
conduct himself in the same way in which He walked and conducted
Himself.”
As we stay immersed in Him we will be full of His light and life. Love, peace and joy WILL be our reflection! Each one of us are fearfully and wonderfully created by God so today I encourage you to expect Him to reflect Himself uniquely through you!
