Reflection on Reflections

We are made in his image

So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Genesis 1: 27

Therefore, each one of us has the capacity to become like Christ.

For freedom Christ has set us free
-------
By his death on a cross the veil has been torn

And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3: 18

Do I want to look more like Jesus?

Then I must look to Him.

No more dwelling on the things of this world.

He is my maker. I am the clay.

He is my Father. I am his child.

To set the mind on the flesh is death,

but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.

Romans 8: 6

Do I want peace? Then I must look to Him.

Do I want to know joy? Then I must look to Him.

Do I want to be self-controlled? Then I must look to him.

Etc. Etc.

We are made in his image. We are his children. Therefore, let us reflect our Heavenly Father.

Even common thoughts on human development can help point the way. A child reflects the one holding them in their hands. It is true. In looking at a parent who smiles, a son or daughter will respond with a smile.

iCommit to Begin Anew: I will turn my head towards him, look up, and boldly gaze into the eyes of God; the one who holds me (& you) in his hands.

It’s a very intimate place to be. Full of love and grace . . . and mercy!

“Hear” are some words from a great song I like to sing. Please follow the link to Jami Smith.com for more.

Only You - The Lord who is God - can take this heart

Only You can take this mind

Only You can take this life

And make it look like Jesus

Paul-like Song

While driving to work yesterday I heard this new song on the radio. It really captures the wonder and praise which flows out from your lips when you of fall in love with Jesus. . . head over heels, face down in the dust like Paul.

Wake up and Sing!

Speak, child of mine, tell of His Glory
Speak, child of mine, tell of His Story
Speak, child of mine, for the Kingdom of God has come to you
Speak, child of mine, He is Faithful and True

Faithful and True, you belong to Him
Faithful and True, His Word never ends
Faithful and True, Jesus the Mighty King
Jesus, my Savior, God, and King

My Deliverer!

I was awakened this morning by a chorus of My Deliver being sung in my heart - Click here to listen to Freedom Album (by Mandisa).

This is who JESUS is My Deliverer!

Psalm 91: 14 -1 6
14 Those who love me, I will deliver; I will protect those who know my name. 15 When they call to me, I will answer them; I will be with them in trouble, I will rescue them and honor them. 16 With long life I will satisfy them, and show them my salvation.
