“A
mirror turned away from the sun cannot reflect the sun's rays. And a human being turned away from God's
Son cannot reflect
His love to others.” (Ellen White) This quote has been around a long time and
it still holds true.
As
I learned in this week’s prep for teaching James 4:1-10, Self is the
fullness of a heart turned inward…….NOT
outward toward God. There is no reflection of God until we turn toward Him. In humbly
turning in love and devotion toward Him, we are then able to reflect that love
toward others. It just overflows.
Last
week's blog asked, " What
would a glimpse of my heart/soul show?"
So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord--who is the Spirit--makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image. (2 Corinthians 3:18)
When
others see me, “Do they see His image?”
The
reflection of this morning's sun streaming through the patio door reminded me of
the correct answer.
A
soul that reflects Jesus.
