“The deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation. You are not discovering yourself but creating yourself anew. Seek, therefore, not to find out who you are, seek to determine what you want to be.” – Neal Donald Walsch..
The meaning of reflection is an instance of reflecting of especially: the return of light or sound waves from a surface. The production of an image by or as if by a mirror. Turning back, returning.
The word Reflections appears (3 instances in 3 translations) Reflects (5 instances in 8 translations) in the Bible.
Do we reflect on time gone by with regret? Or are we satisfied with who and what we were and who we are presently are or becoming? Are there moments in our lives that we wish we could have a do-over? Are there people in our lives that we have overlooked? Or maybe treated unjustly without remorse? Perhaps we left beautiful memories? Or sadly deep scars ... Reflection is it that inward beauty that shines outwardly or is it a superficial persona that we show the world as we hide darkness that lives with our soul...
This amazing book we call the Bible reflects a beautiful love story for us to lovingly remember... I ask you if we fill our hearts and souls with the beauty of His word...the warmth of His love and the heartfelt feeling of His compassion, forgiveness.. and grace do you think our lives will reflect the beauty of His teachings in our life’s journey? Will we touch lives and make beautiful memories? Will we make a positive impact on our world? Will our loved ones lovingly remember our life and the light they could see in your eyes. Will they remember the zest you had for life and love??
Our life here on earth is only a fleeting moment in time... We do not know if we will ever get the chance for a do-over... So make every moment count. Feed your soul with the beautiful essence of Him ... and be a reflection of Him! Let His beauty and perfect love shine for others to see. Is this perfection possible?? Perhaps not... But think of the possibilities of making a difference in just one heart .. one soul and your own life. Now take one moment, and look in a mirror. Who do you see? Do you like who you are ?? Are you perfect? Do you like the reflection that peeks out from your soul? I think maybe NOT... But do not be discouraged. I only know one perfect soul that walked the earth...
Perfection at its finest... and the most amazing role model we could ever hope to reflect.
It’s Him, It’s always Him.
“Be imitators of God in everything you do, for then you will represent your Father as his beloved sons and daughters. And continue to walk surrendered to the extravagant love of Christ, for he surrendered his life as a sacrifice for us. His great love for us was pleasing to God, like an aroma of adoration—a sweet healing fragrance.”
Ephesians 5:1-2 TPT
