OUR HOLY REFLECTION

” AS A FACE IS REFLECTED IN THE WATER, SO THE HEART REFLECTS THE REAL PERSON.” PROVERBS 27:19

AS WE LOOK IN A MIRROR, WE SEE A REFLECTION OF WHAT WE LOOK LIKE. HOWEVER, THAT REFLECTION IS NOT WHO WE TRULY ARE. PROVERBS TELLS US THAT WHO WE REALLY ARE IS REFLECTED FROM THE INSIDE AND NOT THE OUTSIDE APPEARANCE. THERE ARE MANY WALKING AROUND TODAY WITH A FALSE APPEARANCE. THEIR ACTIONS ARE WHAT TELL THEIR STORY. ARE THEY CARING? ARE THEY LOVING? OR ARE THEY ANGRY, NOT TRUTHFUL AND DISPLAY UNTRUTHFUL THINGS ABOUT OTHERS? OUR LORD WORKS IN AND THROUGH THOSE WHO ALLOW HIM TO. HE WILL NOT FORCE HIMSELF UPON THOSE WHO TRULY HAVE OTHER DESIRES. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE, AS CHILDREN OF GOD, ALLOW HIM TO WORK THROUGH US AND PRODUCE RESULTS. IT IS OUR ACTIONS THAT TELL OUR TRUE STORY. IT IS THE HEART FROM WHICH OUR REAL PERSON IS DISPLAYED. WE SHOULD ALWAYS TAKE A MOMENT TO LOOK AT THE RESULTS WE ARE PRODUCING. WHAT ARE WE SHOWING OTHERS.? ARE WE ALLOWING THE LORD TO WORK IN US AND THROUGH US? WE NEED TO SURROUND OURSELVES WITH THINGS OF THE LORD AND NOT THE WORLD. WE SHOULD KEEP OUR HEARTS FRESH WITH THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO LIVES IN US. HE DESIRES TO USE US IN HIS PLAN. THE ONLY WAY HE WILL NOT IS IF WE DO NOT ALLOW HIM TO. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
