Let’s pause for a moment and reflect....
The meaning of reflect: To reflect deeply on a subject. To ponder or meditate depends on our fellowship with Him.
The thought of reflecting is used at least thirty times or more.
How often do we truly pause in the stillness of our lives to meditate on Jesus, the Son, the Father, and the Holy Spirit?
Do we ever sit quietly with a warm cup of coffee or tea, and let our thoughts drift to the wonder of who They are?
These words came to me as I reflected in quietness.
“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.”
Jesus left the glory of Heaven to walk among us as a man. He stepped down from His throne, clothed Himself in humility, and took on the form of humanity. At His baptism, the Holy Spirit descended upon Him like a dove, marking a moment of Divine significance.
How did He relate to His brothers and sisters? How did He live among those who misunderstood Him? Scripture tells us He never sinned. The more I reflect on that, the more I marvel. His entire earthly life—every thought, every word, every action—was without blemish.
He reached out to the broken.
He fed the hungry.
He healed the wounded.
He welcomed the children.
His teachings are profoundly life-changing.
And He understood the hearts of everyone He encountered.
How could anyone resist such relentless love and tender compassion? How can we not be so captivated by His presence that He fills our thoughts, not just in quiet moments, but always?
When I open the Bible during these reflections, I often feel as though the words were written just for me. Its pages speak truth, comfort, and direction. I find treasures there that I want to share with others. His heart is full of love, and that love is meant to be poured out.
The story of Zachaeus, a tax collector, comes to mind. He was despised, dishonest, and hated by everyone. Yet one day, Jesus saw him. Rather than condemnation, Jesus offered him fellowship.
He said, "I must come to your house today and eat with you,”
That one encounter, His presence alone, was enough to transform his heart and redirect his life.
So, passionately seek Jesus. Let His life, His words, and His love touch your heart.
In Him, you will find peace, purpose, and a love that never fails.
“Behold, I’m standing at the door, knocking. If your heart is open to hear my voice and you open the door within, I will come in to you and feast with you, and you will feast with me.”
