No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us and his love is brought to full expression in us. And God has given us his spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us. – 1 John 4:12-13 (NLT)
GOD MIRRORED IN HIS PEOPLE
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you mirroring God by the way you live?
Do you put in action what you believe?
No one has ever seen God but we can mirror him
When we walk in love, we will overcome sin.
He sends us his spirit as proof that he is in us
He is the only one who can free, so always trust
Whenever we walk in love, we bring him to others
When we obey his commands, it pleases the Father.

What kind of picture of God are you painting to others by the way you live? It is sad to know that there are Christians who do not reflect the true character of God. When we gave our hearts to Christ, we were given new life. A life that honors and glorifies the Lord.
Sadly, I still see believers who do not obey God’s command. I still know of Christians who cannot forgive others or who still live in condemnation and bound by religion and legalism. The bible says that if we follow God’s truth and character, we will mirror him to others.
PRAYER
Lord, let me be like you.
REFLECTION
Why should we seek God and follow his word?

The Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
–Micah 6:8 (NLT)
WALK IN LOVE
A poem by ILMA
Whenever you show impartiality
You are walking rightly
Whenever you forgive quickly
You are choosing to give mercy.
Walking in love and humility
Wipes out all conflicts and hostility
It breaks all forms of sins and strongholds
It makes us access God’s promises and grow.
The Mechanicsville paper published an article on the statistics of the effects of broken homes. “Did you know that more than three in ten children grow up in broken homes and children from broken homes account for 70% of those in juvenile detention; 57% of all prison inmates; 63 % of teen suicides; 71% of teen pregnancies; 90% of homeless juveniles and runaways; 71% of high school dropouts; 75% of all drug users; and 85% of behavioral disorders. This is the sad truth about the lack of love in our society.
The bible tells us through the prophet Micah what God requires of us. The message is for all of us to do what is right, to love mercy and to walk humbly with him. If we follow these guidelines, we can avoid social diseases in our society.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to walk in your love.
REFLECTION
How can walking in love contribute to a healthy society?
