As water reflects the face, so one's life reflects the heart.
Proverbs 27:19
You always hear that you can't hide your true colors for too long. What you portray is what is within you; truly deep within you. It's easy to pretend to be something; but it's only going to be a matter of time before the "real" you comes out.
When you have Christ in your heart; you shine! You show love and compassion. You have a servants heart and would do anything to help someone else. If you live in the world then you are controlled by emotions; and ever changing one's at that. You're just looking for the next party or the next "something" to fill that empty spot. The friends you hang out with on a regular basis are a good indication of how you might live as well. How does your life reflect you? With Christ I strive to listen to a certain kind of music and watch certain kinds of movies. I try to not dress too revealing and I am more aware of the language that comes from my lips. I also try to have good judgment on things I read and not buy into the magazines and the Hollywood drama. I try to instill in my children the same things. I don't let them watch "R" rated movies and pg-13 is sometimes iffy. We recently cancelled our cable because commercials are very influential and just not appropriate these days. Children can easily become a reflection of what they watch and hear and I want Christ to reflect our home.
There are many people that walk around claiming to be Christians; but when you see their home life you question where God is. I do not want to be this person; I want my life to truly reflect Jesus and although I'm not perfect I don't have to walk around with 2 different personalities and having to figure out which one to use when. What does your heart say about you? -CiCi
