Reading this morning and I came across this passage. Just had to camp out here for a while.
1 John 3.2 Beloved, we know that we are children of God to begin with, which means that there can be no future surprises; his manifest likeness is already mirrored in us. Our sameness cannot be compromised or contradicted; our gaze will confirm exactly who he is – and who we are.
I love the statement we are children of God to begin with.
John 1:1-3 (ESV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Every single thing including you, including me was made through him.
When you look at yourself in the mirror, who do you see?
Do you see who Jesus sees?
Jesus is the light and He is in you, so shine!
Matthew 6.6
