“How Do You Reflect the Son?

how do you reflect the son

A year or so ago I was on my way home and one of the many churches I drive by had an interesting and inspiring quote on their announcement board.   It said, “How Do You Reflect the Son?” It was another one of those “selah” moments and great words that gave me a picture that challenged my heart. The more I thought about it, the more it inspired me to share with you what He showed me.
You know that God wants to use us to reflect the light of His light, life and love in this very dark world.
 
There are many that claim they do not need them. That’s okay if they want to claim that but we can still bounce light in their direction can’t we? Of course we can…and we should! God has commanded us to live as Jesus lived.
 


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.”

 

 
We must remember that when someone is in darkness they do not realize that their world is without light. They do not realize what they do not see.  I can remember all too well when I thought I had no need for Jesus in my life?
 

When we engage with people we need to be ever conscience to be studying where they may be open to the light of God’s Word. God wants to us use to reflect His light into their lives that they can experience Him. You see as one experiences His love, light, or wisdom as a result of you sharing, you are helping them to see it is Him that they truly need to fill those voids in their lives.
 

Lord, we ask that You use us to illuminate Your Light, Life, and Love to everyone around us.   Speak to our hearts about those that are needing to hear about you.   We thank you for those divine opportunities to touch a person’s heart that desperately needs You.   Thank you Lord for coming into our hearts and making us vessels that carry your beautiful Light!   Amen.
