Morning Reflections - Image

The world says, "Image is everything."  I think the world gets the statement right, but not the meaning.  Image is not about what we wear, where we live, or who we know.  I think image is more about who we really are, whose we really are, and who we reflect.  Is our image created by us, or by the one who created us?  That's the question.

Iranaeus writes,"Lord Jesus Christ, the word of God, of his boundless love, became what we are that he might make us what he himself is."


Today's Prayer - Lord, help us to leave the trappings of this world alone.  Helps us to better reflect the image that we were created in; your image - the image of our creator.  Do this not for our benefit or blessing, but rather do it that others might be drawn to you because that is who they see in us and through us.  Amen.
