reflections

As water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects the man.

Proverbs 27:19 NIV

Maybe you can look at a person’s face and venture a guess about how they’re feeling.  What’s the meaning behind the expression?  Can you detect if a smile and a laugh mean happiness?  Can you detect sadness?  Anger?  Loneliness?  Compassion?  Anxiety?  Confidence?  Burdened?  A face can conceal emotions.

But!  How about one’s heart?  The heart is the person.  In the midst of all the emotions one can experience, can others see Jesus in there?  He should take up all the space!  Life throws a lot at us, but it all comes back to Jesus in the heart.            

Jesus, please fill my heart...with Your peace, love, and promises...
