Reflections

584) We gaze into a mirror to see what we look like but this is an incomplete picture. There is also the reflection of what we are like. Genesis 39:9 tells us that our treatment of others reflects our relationship with God. He says we are to love one another and failure to do so

Loving and Hating are choices

570) 1 John 4:20 tells us that saying we love God, while hating or detesting a brother makes us liars. We cannot choose to love God, who loves everyone enough to die for, and then judge others to not be worthy of our esteem. Choosing to selflessly love others is loving God with our actions.

Love’s Reflection

561) The old saying, “Actions speak louder than words,” is one of those that ring in truth continually. If we make the choice to be selfish, we are not reflecting God.  1 John 4:8 says it’s easy to tell who truly is committed to God. Do we demonstrate love when we need to apologize for

It’s All in Who You Know

523) Connections are vital these days. If you want to successfully get in to the college of your choice or snag an interview for a job, it’s often because of who you know. 1 Timothy 2:5 tells us we have a connection to God; One who makes it possible to be in God’s presence. Jesus.

Daddy!

507) Galatians 4:6 states that God wants us to call Him “Abba,” a word translated into English as, “Daddy”. I am still amazed that the God of all the universe, as Someone who knows every dark thing about me, still wants me to call Him, Daddy. It’s humbling t0 meditate on this.

505) Galatians 6:1 tells us when there is a problem among God’s people, we need to speak to that person about it. However, it must be done gently and only after we have evaluated ourselves to make sure we are not doing the same thing. God wants to restore people to Him not repel them.

Great Obligations

376)  Romans 15:1 tells us we have a spiritual obligation to bear or help carry the burdens of others. The word “help” here is important. The verse does not tell us to take away these burdens, even if we could. Growth comes from enduring difficulties and having the support of others makes this possible.

Rewards Worth Earning

373) It is hard to watch the news these days. Much includes anger and selfishness, and yet, doing what’s right, being kind and loving others, produces good things for them and ourselves. Some rewards cannot be seen with our eyes but God promises they do exist. Choose kindness. Proverbs 21:21

God’s Reflection

371)  Ever wondered what God looks like? Part of His image is seen in our acts of love for each other. God invented love and gives it to us freely and, being made in God’s image, we are to give it to others, too. Selfishness hinders our giving to others and is not a reflection
