had the best family time and then got home and ended this perfect evening talking about our perfect savior, Jesus, and contemplating who we are in Him and how we "reflect" His image in our daily lives. Which brings me right into this months theme for the Pixel Scrapper Blog Train, "Reflections".
This is what got it all started. This train of thought (no pun intended) that has had me captivated and wrestling with the whole week long. This concept that I thought I understood, or at least to a level that I seemed to be perfectly satisfied with. When I saw this theme, I started thinking about the word "reflections" and
what it means. I started thinking, well, what exactly do I reflect in my life? What do I mirror? Then I thought, well what am I supposed to mirror? Well, I am a Christian. According to Romans 8:29, we are supposed to be "conformed to the image of His son." Meaning, that in time, we are shaped through His word to be more and more like Him. Then the more we become like Him, it is His image that we will be reflecting, not ours. It is our duty to reflect, glorify, and honor Him in all we do. Do I
reflect Him in all I do, well, not really! But I love Him, and he is a patient God, thankfully, ever teaching me. So, while this theme got me to really "reflecting" on these thoughts, the Holy Spirit has used this opportunity to help me understand that I need to start spending more time with my Father
in His word to become more like Him, to build my relationship with Him further, and to relinquish myself to God, so that I can walk in the spirit and start producing real fruit in my life:)
