So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Genesis 1:27 New King James Version (NKJV)
The other day, I finished my lunch and anticipated opening my fortune cookie. All in fun. I happen to like the cookies; Knowing the little paper with words of “wisdom” are waiting to be read, excites me. Bear with me- it is the little things in life that excites me the most. My little words of wisdom for the day read:
“Behavior is a mirror in which everyone shows his own image.”
I sat there for a minute, and pondered what did that mean to me? I was imediately drawn the the word (his).
As I walked back to the office from lunch, my mind starting buzzing like a hive of bees. Then it hit me.
..Behavior is a mirror in which everyone shows his own image… His image (our heavenly Father) or our image?
Does our image (mirror) His Image?
With a burst of heavenly energy, that makes you feel most alive- I had to share what was going on in my head. My sweet friend Kaylea was so kind to lend an ear. As we discussed what that meant for us as Christians or daughters of the King, I blurted out Big H or little h.
Big H= His Image
little h= our image (his/hers)
As we walk through this experience that we call the life journey, are we reflecting the Big H or the little h? Are our actions a direct reflection of what would show people who Jesus was? Of course we cannot be Jesus- but we can try to let others see Jesus through us. OR are our actions a reflection of a selfish human (fleshy) behavior? Does this take any of us back to the-
WWJD? What Would Jesus Do?
Maybe we need a new bracelet to remind us to make honest efforts to reflect His image and not ours.
Is the image we are trying to create for ourselves (reputation) a mirror of His image? Maybe we are trying to re-invent ourselves?
We all fall short… but learning and being aware will help us mirror the image of our creator, our Heavenly Father.
Just something to think about.
