We all reflect Christ in different ways. He made us with unique gifts and traits. Of course, in our lives, we will reflect Christ in a variety of ways, if we are truly seeking Him, yet we will never do it fully or perfectly this side of heaven.
I tend to want to do it all. I want to reflect every trait of God, I want to be holy, just. I want to be wise and encouraging, a good steward. I want to preach well, write well, be merciful, pray well. But, that is not how God made me. I am a unique reflection of His character and He doesn’t call me to reflect it all.
This morning, He reminded me that I see others, I see people, just as Hagar called God the one who sees me. And He would rather I focus on reflecting that unique aspect of Him than strive to do them all or compete with the ways other reflect Him. So, how do you uniquely reflect Christ?
