THE TRUE REFLECTION

Reflection it is an image; representation; counterpart, a fixing of the thoughts on something; careful consideration, a thought or meditation.

Who's reflection are we to look like? Is it our own or someone else's? Whatever you look at as your own counterpart, it is nice just knowing it is beautiful on the inside and out. The fact that human beings are created in God's image shapes the Christian worldview and affects how we see God, the world and one another. A beautiful reflection is very important not just from the outside but the inside as well. That when you turn and look at yourself you will see a beautiful person in the mirror as well as within yourself. The way we create this image on the inside is by reading and obeying the Lord. His ways are much better than our ways. A source of power and strength in love. No matter what anyone does he forgives and loves and waits for us. Patiently and continually waiting for us to get to understand his Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent God. It means his divine presence encompasses the whole of the universe. We were created in his image and there are many who underestimate their value in who they are. People don't understand that there image or reflection can come from the creator in you. From his DNA that gives you life and love and power in this world. His image of him has power in you and is well put out when you recognize it. You are a beautiful creation a diamond in a field that shines so bright. Magnificent in all your ways as you walk in his will and what you were created to be. Unique and special and outstanding individual. As you walk in this life don't ever let no man or woman tear you down by their words that are powerful hits or by their physical abuse as well as mental. Dwelling on what others say or think is worthless. Get your eyes off of what humans say and on who God is in you and what he put inside you and in how much he loves you. The most important thing is in what he says about you, everything else is irrelevant. You were created to serve God and use your gifts and creativity for his Glory, not man. Many march a different tune because you gave your heart away to another. So you became a slave to man instead of God. In your time of death, you will realize you wasted your freedom on a man instead of in God. Then you will give an account of why you have destroyed your image of him in you and your self-worth. The beauty he gave you wasn't just to lower yourself worth to a mere human being. Love serves, yes and love covers a multitude of sins. Love protects and cares and is kind and patient and thinks of others first. This is him in you. However, love also thinks first of God the Father and makes sure everything is in order so you won't lose yourself worth thru this trials we face in life. Just remember the image is worth a thousand time more when it is Christ reflection you putting out and it is Love. Just don't lose your identity when others take your love for granted. Keep looking in the mirror and remind yourself how special you are because of he that is within you no matter what anyone says. Never forget your identity you are special and the apple of God's eye.
