Reflection

Verse of the Day
2 Corinthians 3:18


All of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord.  And the Lord - who is the Spirit - makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.  


One of my closest friends at school is named Allie.  We actually only met early last year, but we hit it off right away.  Soon we were hanging out a lot outside of school and becoming better and better friends.  We realized we had a lot of similarities - we were both elementary education majors (so we had most of our classes together too!), we both came from families of all sisters, we were both strong in our faith, we both loved country music, the list goes on and on.  And the more time we spent with each other, the more similar we became.  Now we get mistaken for each other by professors and when our classmates see one of us without the other the first question they would ask us was 'Where's Allie/Kristy?'.  We're pretty much like a package deal these days.

Relating this to God (I'm stealing that line from Lauren. ;) ) the more time we spend with God, the more similar to Him we become too.  We start to speak gently and positively to people like He would want us to.  Our attitudes and motives become more pure.  The things we do to serve others aren't thought of as burdens but as acts of love.  Overall, we gain more Christ-like qualities.

The Simple Truth:  Spend some time with God, He might rub off on ya.

Pray:
Lord, help me to want to spend more quality time with You.  I want to become more like You everyday I live.  Thank You for showing me how to lead a faithful life.  Amen.

Peace, love & prayers-
