As we look at our reflections, we should see not only what we think we see but how God looks at us with His divine vision, as well. How often do we view our mirror image and appreciate ourselves for whom we are in Christ, and for the fact that He knew us before we were formed in our mother's womb? (See Psalm 139)
RELATING...We all want our friends and family to relate to us. It begins with how we relate to them, by showing compassion, having patience, and giving gracefully from our hearts.
We should not just want to know WHO God is...we should want to know GOD!
"Thou shalt know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer..."
Isaiah 60:16 KJV
The Father wants to bear those burdens we so proudly catch ourselves holding onto in our flesh.
"Thus relieved of a grievous load, I from that hour set to work afresh, resolved pioneer my way through every difficulty..." (Charlotte Brontė) Jane Eyre.
"Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us."
Hebrews 12:1 KJV
God enjoys having us around. He created us for His delight and pleasure! Do we take pleasure and delight in the knowledge of His love?
"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."
Revelation 4:11 KJV
