Romans 8:29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.

Some say that one way to reflect Christ is through love and compassion. This could mean extending kindness, understanding, and empathy to others, similar to how Jesus showed unconditional love and compassion to those he encountered. Others say that it means representing Christ alive in us, and letting him radiate out of us in our words, attitudes, and actions.

 In all things, be a reflection of Christ. Especially those that it is hard to be that reflection. But to me, today before I went into Surgery for my hip, I had a wonderful conversation with the nurse about Jesus Christ. She is also a believer. If you know me, I am a blabbermouth for my Savior and I won't stop. When she went to get this cap to put on my head she was shocked at what she saw on the front. Now she could have put it on anyway. But it just so happened to turn out that it landed in the front. If it landed in the back, we both wouldn't have known it was there. She said, "i've been here thirty six years and I have never seen this. What the heck." Well, I shared with her immediately  what it spoke to my heart. I told her "everywhere I go I love to talk about Jesus. I will always bring Him up because it makes great conversation, sometimes. If not, I just back off and pray for that person.I told her what it spoke to my heart, "He's telling me to keep reflecting Him."  Well, she grabbed my arm and almost in tears said. "yes my sister." Then she wheeled me into another room to prepare for rehab. Twenty minutes later she came back to that area and said.  "I will never forget what just happened." Jesus is amazing and He wants to be talked about. Everywhere we go there is an opportunity. 

For Your Glory Lord, always.
