Over the past weeks I have been taking time to think about the events of the day. Taking time to reflect and meditate is counter to life as we know it. Sometimes the reflections hold up a mirror to my face and reflect back the issues I don’t want to deal with.
Last week while at Beaver Lake, I sat out on the deck. Early in the morning, the lake is extremely calm. It was so calm that the lake clearly reflected the landscape. When the breeze would pick up, the reflection was blurry.
While taking in that beautiful scenery I was reminded that my life is to reflect the beauty of Christ while living out His character. However, the wind will toss us around to the point that our lives are veiled to the world and Christ is barely noticeable to us or to those around us. Sitting on that deck, I know I need to dedicate time for Christ to search my soul so He can transform me from the inside out. No matter what life throws our direction, may we open our minds, hearts and souls to His redeeming touch, allowing Him to change our direction and destination.
