Reflect His Glory
“John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light” John 5:35.The moon is lovely on a clear night only because it reflects the light of the sun.
It has no qualities by itself to reflect its beauty.
Without the sun shining onto its surface, you and I would never see the moon.
It would simply be a dark object in the sky.
A diamond is designed to reflect the light to reveal its true value.
The cut of a diamond determines its brilliance.
There is no single measurement of a diamond that defines its cut-
– but rather a collection of measurements and observations that determine the relationship between a diamond’s light performance, dimensions and finish.
Jesus came to bring the light of His love and grace to each of us. However, we are born into a world dulled by the sin created by Adam and Eve that makes our lives dark until we meet Jesus.
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…” Rom 3:23-24.
Jesus contrasted in many parables that those who allow His life to live in them will live in the light amidst darkness.
When you invite Jesus Christ to live in your heart it is as though a light is shining upon your life in order to reflect the glory of God’s Son through you.
Jesus calls you to be a vessel to reflect-
– the brilliant light of His love to others.
The workplace is a great place to reflect His glory!
How are your reflective qualities?
Ask Him to make your life a continual reflection of His light to others.
