Sunday Reflection: The Example
Have you ever had something
stay in your mind for days, maybe weeks? I call it a nag. A quote? A song lyric? Critical
words? A license plate? (That one
is probably just me.)
For a couple of weeks, one
Bible scripture has nudged me. First it came up as part of a daily reading.
Then it popped up in my mind, periodically. After that, I heard reference to it
in a song.
What verse? This:
“Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ
loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to
God.” Ephesians
5:1-2 (NIV)
What
kept repeating in my mind was, "Follow God's example..."
Living
life based on a love principle is not easy. But acting on and
reacting with love is the key to God's example. When life is lived with
love in mind, there is change for the good.
My
message in this is that everything I do needs to mirror the very essence
of my God. And His essence is love.
I’m
vowing to be a better mirror.
Blessings!

It's not always easy, but that's exactly what He's called us to do. As His children, we are a reflection of Him.
ReplyDeleteSuch an inspiring post and oh, so true. We are His reflections and as of late, we (people in general) don't seem to be doing a very good job of showing love to one another. Wishing you a wonderful Sunday and a great week to come, my friend.
