Today I read Ephesians 5, which has my favourite verse, 'Follow God's example therefore as dearly loved children.' In other words - imitate Jesus in everything we do.
When God looks at me, because of the cross, he sees Jesus, but who do others see?
God showed me a picture of a mirror today, although the face looking back at me is not my own, but instead Jesus.
Is that what others see? Do other people look at me and see Jesus or do they just see me? What about me? Who do I see when I look in the mirror?
I want to reflect Jesus in every part of my life, I want others to look at me and see what God sees. I want to look at others and see what Jesus sees.
As a Christian I should reflect Jesus. In my daily life everything about me should reflect the love of God, the joy of God, the peace of God, the patience of God, the kindness of God, the goodness of God, the faithfulness of God, the gentleness of God and the self-control of God. In other words, I should be showing evidence of the 'fruit of the Spirit'. But am I? My prayer is that I 'imitate' Jesus in every aspect of my life.
