LISTENING TO OUR OWN REFLECTION
Sometimes I wonder why God thought we were a good choice to be His reflected light.
In other words, people who know we hang out with God get some version of Who He is by our interaction with them.
Are we cheerful, giving, honest...or sullen, cranky and whiny?
Do we boast our own position or listen carefully to someone's heart?
Do we leave them thinking, "Wow, there's just something different about him/her? Wonder if that Jesus thing has anything to do with it," or "Whew, if that's where the God-thing takes you, I don't want any part of it!" ?
Maybe it's early in the morning when you are reading this...good! You have a chance to impact what version of reflected light you are for this day. If it's late, sleep sweetly and try for a great version tomorrow.
Either way, God thinks we are a good choice to be His reflected light...listen to this chance to bless God's heart by being a joyful reflection of His Light.
