last night i was thinking about what it truly means to reflect Christ into the world. it would be as though we were looking through a mirror and finding in ourselves the reflection of Christ. we (at least i know i do this) begin to distort the very image of Christ because we try to conform to our own ways of doing things, to conform to the happenings of the world, and try to do it all on our own. we miss out of the unexplainable joy of partnering with Christ in the Great Commission, we lose sight of the cross because we are too focused on what the world wants or tells us to become, when Christ has already made it clear. the Bible lets us know what Christ's intentions were by coming to earth and thus leading a life of example to the created ones.

there is so much more to this following Christ thing, and i desire to know full heartedly what it means to be a Christ-like disciple. hopefully as the days of by i will begin to know more of what he is directing me towards. may i learn to love, live, and be more like Christ.
