It's Not about Me chapter 8

Chapter 8: God's Mirrors

We are God's mirrors. Max tells a story about a man who used a mirror to help rescue him. What if the mirror was "insecure" saying: What if i blow it? What if i send a dash when I am supposed to send a dot? Self doubt could paralyze a mirror. Our job description is simply this : REFLECT GOD'S GLORY!

Our job is to behold God so intently that we cant help but reflect him! Max says that to behold is to study, to stare, to contemplate, to seriously ponder. And he also says that Beholding leads to becoming, becoming leads to reflecting.

Matthew 5:16 says to "Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven"

Let your salvation reflect God's glory. Your message, your salvation, your body, your struggles, your success- all proclaim God's glory. God sends us the message, we and our job is to mirror it. He is the source; we are the glass. He is the light; we are the mirrors.

The guy that Max was talking about his name was Mr Tweed. Mr Tweeds use of a mirror led to a rescue. May God's use of us lead to millions more!
