Reflect

2 Corinthians 3:18  “And all of us have had that veil removed so that we can be mirrors that brightly reflect the glory of the Lord.  And as the Spirit of the Lord works within us, we become more and more like him and reflect his glory even more.”

I am a reflection of Jesus Christ.  As Jesus lives in me, changes me, and works within me I become more like Him and reflect his glory to those around me.

Someone said that…  “You might be the only Jesus someone ever sees.”  Meaning that, when I live for Jesus and produce Christlike qualities the potential for others to see Jesus in my life is a possibility.

With that in mind, I better be thinking about what I say, how I live, what I am reflecting.  Because according to this verse I have the opportunity to reflect the glory of God to other people within my sphere of influence.  That is really cool, but pretty sobering too!

Lord help me to be living as a reflection of your love.  Give me the ability to produce the fruits of your Spirit in a way that others can cleary see Jesus in me.  Thank you for daily cultivating new life within me and for giving me the chance to show you to others.
