Reflection

 

As I walked the shoreline this morning I noticed all of the objects reflecting the same hue the sun was shining. Reminding me once again, we don’t bring the light, we don’t power the light. All we do I align ourself with Christ and he illuminated us. We become a beacon in the darkness. As I look around, I notice that even dull, lifeless objects are getting illuminated. Whew, then I think about the glass that has taken years of beating from these salty, wet winds. 

Pitted reflective surfaces are more attractive to the eye, it glimmers. We are even more attractive when we don’t glaze over our shortcomings and act like we have it all together. When we walk in humility, admitting we are weak and nothing without Christ we sparkle, reflecting even more facets of the Lord.

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12:9-10‬ ‭

“But he answered me, “My grace is always more than enough for you, and my power finds its full expression through your weakness.” So I will celebrate my weaknesses, for when I’m weak I sense more deeply the mighty power of Christ living in me. So I’m not defeated by my weakness, but delighted! For when I feel my weakness and endure mistreatment—when I’m surrounded with troubles on every side and face persecution because of my love for Christ—I am made yet stronger. For my weakness becomes a portal to God’s power.”
