1 John 2:6 “Whoever says he abides in HIM ought to walk in the SAME way in which HE walked.”
The Faithful’s Reflections!
Since GOD’s love is true, never failing…then it can’t lose its power, amen?
Since HE will not leave nor forsake us…there’s no time then when we are alone!
CHRIST entwines with our souls which HE bore so there’s no separation from HIM.
What love which is heavenly driven…and given to those HE draws home!
Now shout out thanksgivings and praises to the FATHER WHOSE endless affections…
have bound us as one through the blood of HIS SON!
So reflect such great love without wavering!
As HIServant with great and growing certainty that our daily reflections of CHRIST must most directly bear HIS LIght,

Devotional: 1 Peter 2:21 “For to this you have been called,
because CHRIST also suffered for you,
…leaving you an example, so that you might follow in HIS steps.”
Philemon 1:6 “And I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective…
for the full knowledge of every good thing that is in us for the sake of CHRIST.”
We’re not here to display partial reflections.
Being HIServant isn’t to show GOD’s love in part or muted to fit our comfort zone.
Now that’s a tall order for all of us to do all of the time.
But my encouragement is that our lives are to become radiant beacons for those in despair and depression.
A wealthy neighborhood and big house doesn’t mean CHRIST is seen inside.
A poor area and with run down homes and shacks doesn’t mean those living in them know of or have HIS love either.
So we’re to be wholly reflective of JESUS and sacrificially so.
Again, that’s a tall order for all of us to do all of the time.
But the law of the funnelling effect as i call it…aligns with all the chaos going on.
This compels me to always share the Gospel and be spiritually encouraging to those downtrodden.
Now isn’t a time for partly reflecting JESUS!
Now isn’t the time to be a part time CHRISTian who risks nothing for HIM.
Spoken always to myself first, let us be HIS most radiant torches, even if we’re struggling daily as well.
Amen and amen.
