Reflecting God

"As water reflects the face, so one's life reflects the heart." (Proverbs 27:19)

What is in our hearts is reflected in the way we choose to live our lives.  If our hearts are full of virtue and grace our actions will be a direct reflection of that and will be evidence of God's love manifest in the world.  Our actions of love will draw souls to God and our example will be one of humble, loving submission to the will of God.

If our hearts are clouded by sin our words and actions will reflect that.  If our hearts are disturbed by our mistakes and sins let's turn to God and ask to be reconciled to Him.  Let's approach Him in the Sacrament of Reconciliation and allow Him to bless us with forgiveness, draw us to Himself, and change our hearts so that our words and actions will once again be a direct reflection of His loving presence within us.

Prayer:

Lord, I want my words and actions to be a direct reflection of Your love and presence within me. I want to walk humbly doing Your will and be a blessing to all those whom I meet.  Help me to draw others to You and to Your love.  Amen.
