A Unique Reflection

What am I reflecting? Do I mirror the anxiety and fear of the world? How much time are we spending watching the news and the mediatic false frenzy of fear mongering? (Fear: False Evidence Appearing Real) The place we need to listen up to first is from the voice of the ONE we should COME to first, and His name is Jesus. The best start of our day is in God’s Presence, with our Bible open and us soaking our soul with God’s way, truth and life. In our vital-vertical relationship with Jesus, we make it personal with our Lord. We talk it up with God before we talk to anyone else. If we spend time in the LIGHT of His Truth, in our heart-to-heart relationship with HIM, We will mirror His Heart. Therefore, when people see us, they see a reflection of His Life. I usually like to tell people this: I hope you SHINE. What do I mean by that??When we are spending more time with Jesus, listening up most to Him, we shine all things Him, His love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, humility, wisdom and self-control. Why? Because He is light and truth, the only light that no one and nothing can extinguish and He lights up our lives with hope and peace. God’s truth stands the tests of time and it sticks to us.

We mirror God, we reflect to the world stability, strength, compassion, civility and common sense, many things that are rare in our day. It is attractive to others as we walk with a Kingdom Perspective, shutting down the worldly viewpoint. Many have tried over the years to put out the light of God’s truth, but all have failed. So, our SHINE today should be a mirror image of Him, of His glory glow. We were created in His Image, and as we spend more and more time with Him, we get a unique reflection, not our own fleshly reactions, but a response which is one that looks a lot like His character.

Love is such a good quality as it is given unconditionally as is mercy, which is given to those who do not deserve it. These are just two of the ways we can SHINE today, reflecting our Savior, Jesus Christ in us and through us, we can light up the darkness wherever we step on this day, with His love, compassion, civility and common sense. These in themselves are precious commodities, rare treasures in times such as these, treasures in the dark as Jesus lights up our world as we reflect Him, and share His hope within a hopeless world trying to survive within the structure of no power higher than self. God is our hope in the dark where illegitimate authority has corrupted beyond our wildest dreams and as we position ourselves underneath His Rulership of Love, He is able to help us thrive in our world where mankind is so focused on self-gain, dangerously so. Within our vital-vertical relationship with Jesus, He changes things up for us and we reflect Him, His way, truth and life as we walk counter culturally with Him, joyful, strong and peaceful in all of our ways.
