Hold the Mirror Up

Proverbs 26:19—Just as water reflects the face, so one human heart reflects another.

God breathed life into man – His Breath is the very core of our human form. We are created in His Image.  We are called to love one another and shine His Light in this world. Of course, it is normal to question whether anyone else sees our light, or whether it is even shining at all.  But we can figure that out by being in relationship with one another.  The thing about relationships is that we not only learn the heart of another, but our heart reflects in them.  Our relationships hold up a mirror to us so we can see who we really are.  We must critically consider our hearts when we catch glimpses of ourselves so that we can constantly grow and mature.  We must also be careful who we build relationships with.  Their hearts will also reflect in us, and we must guard our hearts from influences that would harm us.


Today as you pray and meditate on His Word, praise God as the God of relationships.  Give thanks for the friends, family, and other relationships in your life.  Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you in seeing your heart reflected in others.  Pray that you would be a worthy mirror to reflect others’ hearts, too.  Worship God today by letting your light shine.
