I’m Called to Reflect the Son

Scripture: Hebrews 1: [3] The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

Observation: I read how wonderful Jesus is and all He has done for me, yet I’m called to be like Him. How can that be? Jesus nature was loving, compassionate, a servant and a reflection of God’s love on this earth. So why can’t I do that? The Word says I can do all things through Jesus if I call on Him. Jesus is the greatest that ever was or will be, but I’m called to be like Him. I know I will never reach that mark, but I need to try each day.

Application: I’m here to reflect the love of God on this earth. I need always try to be like my Lord and call on Him to help me succeed. I need to think and pray before I do anything and ask for God’s direction in all of the circumstances I encounter.

Prayer: My Lord help me reflect your love to others. Give me the compassion I need and that I would be more concerned for others than myself. That my words and actions might draw others near to you and that I will reflect your light in this world to others.
