Good morning…
God hangs on our wall a full-length mirror. “Christ is the deepest truth of our being.” (David Benner, The Gift of Being Yourself, p. 4)
Staring into our clear mirror, we notice ourselves taking on the mind and the heart of Jesus. We witness the actualization of the Holy Spirit in us. More and more like Christ, we mature to become fully, deeply human and fully, deeply God. Responding to the world through heavenly eyes, we align ourselves in union with the Father-Son-Spirit, participating in God’s transformational agenda of making all things new. We live the very life of our Lord, dying to old, resurrecting to more, as God’s higher ways expand in our lives.
Don’t fool yourself into thinking that you are a listener when you are anything but, letting the Word go in one ear and out the other. Act on what you hear! Those who hear and don’t act are like those who glance in the mirror, walk away, and two minutes later have no idea who they are, what they look like (James 1:22-24, MSG).
To help us remember who we really are, God hangs on our wall a full-length mirror. “Christ is the deepest truth of our being.”
