At what you already have in your hands.
Look deeper at the vision in your heart.
Gaze intently, not at your own reflection, but at the One you have been created to reflect.
God’s original plan was that you be His image bearer.
The representation of His loving hands, compassionate heart, and powerful words in the world.
You are made to be a vessel that brings heaven to earth, interrupts the downward spiral of anxiety with the upward flow of faith, and intervenes in lost lives to help them find the way home.
This was the original plan sideswiped by sin, waylaid by fear, tempted to deny by the whisperer of destructive lies.
You are created to be an image bearer.
Without Christ, it was lost.
With Christ, you are restored, redeemed, repurposed, and recreated in His love to walk free in God’s original plan for your life.
“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Ephesians 2:10 NLT
Look closer at what you have in your hands.
Look deeper at the vision in your heart.
Gaze intently, not at your own reflection, but at the One you have been created to reflect.
The world needs what you’ve got and they need to see Jesus uniquely expressed through you.
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
– Emerson

Such a great reminder! Helps me focus on “making my little corner of the world” a better place.
I love This sentence ,
“Gaze intently at the one you were created to reflect not your own image”
A great reminder in these days of self absorption to think of others, offer grace, kindness, smiles& hope.
