Mirror

God created the heavens and the earth, He created the sun and the moon. The sun and the moon are a perfect example of how we are to be. See the moon reflects the sun, but when the moon gets in the way of the sun it creates a total eclipse, that total eclipse causes darkness to fall, like it was night.

Jesus is the Son of God (sun), He is the light to the world, He is our guiding light, we are the moon and He calls us to reflect His love to those around us. Are you getting the parallel? When we try to do it on our own without Jesus we cause a total eclipse, we cause the Son of God to be blocked out. I believe He has set an illustration of how He wants us to be to other, in our every day life, the Sun and the Moon.

When we don't have the sun in our lives we can feel cold and alone, but it is always here. Remember today, that Jesus wants us to reflect Him, He wants us to mirror His love, His light to those around us, we can't do it on our own and when start trying to, we start causing an eclipse. When the eclipse happens we begin to mirror those around us, instead of mirror the Son of God. We put ourselves before God and in that we will fail, because no longer is it about God, but self.

Today ask God how you can mirror Him, how you can be a light to those around you, instead of mirroring them, but by mirroring Him. He loves you, He called you by name from the foundations of the world, He wants you to demonstrate His love to others and He wants me to do the same. It has to be about mirroring Him and not mirroring others.
