As I was admiring the beautiful roses displayed on my dresser, the strips, the color, then their reflection from my mirror prompted me to ponder my reflection.
My heart's desire is to mirror my Savior.
His image isn't what is usually revealed. I easily can display the world's culture, my own lack of patience or forgiveness, wounds, anything but Him.
The only way I can manifest my Savior is for me to spend more time at His feet. To allow him to rearrange, move up or down, slant me to the right or left, and even turn me sideways…positioning me to reflect His image.
II Corn.3:18 "But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit."

cool analogy. i too have been reflecting other things besides Him...thanks for the reminder. love you.
Beautiful thoughts, beautiful roses. ღ
I think the 3rd and 4th chapters of II Corinthians are some of the richest in Scripture. Thanks so much for sharing your insight and with a great analogy to boot.
Lovely picture, in words and roses. A welcome reminder of real beauty!
wow Janette... this seems to be the message for this day! I just saw your comments, read Lea's post, and came here... I think we're on to something! :)
P.S. When you have a chance, there's an Award waiting for you on my "Christmas in July" party post: http://www.chrysaliscafe.com/2010/07/youre-invited-to-my-christmas-party.html
Congratulations!
Hugs, e-Mom ღ
that is so true. we try and try to be
like Him, but when we spend time
with Him, His goodness is read in
our faces and hearts.
thank you for the sweet reminder!
This was so beautiful Janette! I want to reflect His image too.
Btw, I love the font on this post. It actually looks romantic.
Love,
Debbie
