2 Corinthians 3:18 "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."
We are being made to be like Jesus, to reflect His glory and holiness with greater clarity and distinction. In everything we do, from the big issues of life to the mundane everyday routine, we reflect Jesus.
-Being in a hurry gives way to patience.
-Procrastination becomes perseverance.
-Harsh words have the edges cut off and are gentle.
-Bitterness and resentment turn into forgiveness.
-Envy and covetousness becomes contentment.
-Boastfulness and conceit learn humility.
-The clenched hand of stingy selfishness opens with generosity.
-An angry short fuse is replaced with self-control.
-Deception and half-truths melt away and are replaced with honesty and integrity.
-Doubt and fear are transformed into faith and confidence.
Little by little we reflect Jesus more and more; with an ever increasing glory we are transformed into His likeness.
