Our lives are a mirror.  They reflect.

They reflect what we believe. They reflect what we believe about God, His grace, His mercy and His salvation.

Our lives are a refection. Our lives aren’t lived in a vacuum.  Our lives show the reality of what we believe.  Not what we say we believe. But, what we really, actually believe.

Our lives show the way to the truth that lies in our hearts.

Today, listen to what Jesus says in Matthew 5:

No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

Our lives are like that candle. They shine a light for all to see.

So our Lord tells us to shine out light for the world to see, so they will praise our Heavenly Father. Our lives should be lived in such a way that people thank God after dealing with us.

Not to thank God that we are awesome. Or kind.  Or good.  Or sweet. But to thank God that He is kind. And good. And loving.

We don’t live this life to reflect upon ourselves. We live this life to reflect upon God.

Today, what light is you life reflecting?  What does your life say about God? What does your life show that you believe about God?

Today, does the light of your life cause others to glorify God after an interaction with you?  Or does your life cause others to wonder if you really are a Christian.

Our lives are mirrors. What are they reflecting?
