Reflecting His Glory

His Reflection

Reflecting His Glory

 “We… are being transformed into his image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”*  

—2 Corinthians 3:18 (KJV 1611)

Each morning, as the light gently graces the earth, a mirror waits—not of silver or glass, but of the soul. In it, we are not called to behold ourselves, but to see the image of the One who formed us. God, in His mercy, has not left us to the distortions of this world. By His Spirit and promises, He invites us into transformation—a glorious becoming. Through every trial, every quiet obedience, and every whispered prayer, He shapes us from the inside out to reflect His nature: love that bears no grudge, patience that waits with hope, holiness that does not bend.

But this reflection is not born of human will—it begins at the foot of the cross. Christ Jesus, perfect and sinless, shed His blood to cleanse our hearts and rescue us from judgment. The wages of sin is death, and eternal separation from God is a reality too dire to soften. Yet in His matchless love, Jesus became the sacrifice that opens the door to life. To all who receive Him, He offers not only forgiveness but a new heart—alive with purpose and eternity. The mirror clears only when the blood has washed us clean.

If you have never called upon the name of Jesus, do not let this moment pass. Let Him lift the veil from your eyes. Confess your need, your brokenness, your desire to be made whole. Believe in the Savior who conquered death. There is no sin so deep He cannot redeem, no past so dark His light cannot transform. Through Him, we not only escape the wrath to come—we walk into the joy of knowing God and becoming like Him.

*Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You humbled and in need of mercy. Forgive me for my sin. Wash me in the blood of Jesus Christ. Open my eyes to see Your truth. I repent—turning from the path that leads to destruction. Teach me Your will, O Lord. Shape me day by day into the image of Your Son. Fill me with Your Spirit, that I may walk in Your ways and reflect Your glory. In the name of Jesus, who died and rose for me—I pray, amen.
