“Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.”

Most of us care about how we appear to others. In order for us to know how we are seen by others, we need something outside of ourselves to reflect back how we look. We were created to bring glory to God, and we are made in the image of God. Because of this, we are called to mirror Him and be a walking and talking advertisement of who He is. Just like an actor studies their character and practices their lines and movements before a mirror, we are called to study God’s character and reflect whatever we see. Let’s be a bright light to shine God’s love to this world.

Have you been glorifying God lately? What can you do today to bring Him glory?
