So One’s Life Reflects the Man
This week I went to a Celebration of Life service for a dear man we have known for over twenty years. The service was beautiful; rich in God’s hope and love and gave honor to a man of unshakeable faith. As I sat listening to the eulogies spoken about this extraordinary individual, I remembered Proverbs 27:19 which reads, “As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart.”
A Love Song
“The revelations of love when you are in this glorious cloud is intoxicating,” writes Seele Magazine contributor Rebekah Mazzei. Valentine’s Day has just passed and Rebekah reminds readers to cultivate a day with just YOU + GOD, and that when we come back to our first love, we will in tune with the LOVER of our souls.
“God, What do you want from me?”
In life and at different seasons we find ourselves asking God “what is it that you want from me?” Perhaps we find ourselves asking that when we’re in great need of something, and it’s not happening, so in exasperation we cry out to God “if it’s anything I’ve done/I am doing wrong please tell me- I’ll correct it. What is it that you want from me? I don’t know what to do anymore?”
We are both Pharaoh and the Israelite; both the Oppressor and the Oppressed
We are all incomplete. We are sometimes victims and we are sometimes oppressors. We are sometimes the Israelites in slavery in Egypt. And we are sometimes Pharaoh oppressing others with a bad attitude, mistreatment, selfishness, or hatred.
