Mirror Images

I'm not sure of the direction of today's post on  this blog.  So, I am just kinda talking, and we will see where it leads.

I have a lot on my plate this week.  I am trying to create a logo that represents the work of the particular ministry it will be designed to represent.  It is very hard to create a logo for a ministry or anything else, unless you know the ministry and the leader's vision, what they see.

His Word tells us that we are to be mirror images of Him, representing Him--just like the logo I am creating is to represent the particular ministry.  Most of us, though, have not taken the time to get to know who He is.  How can we be like something we do not know.  What are His likes and dislikes?  What is His character?  What is His disposition?  How does He handle situations?  Who does He spend time with?  What type of work does He do?  Where does He do it?  When does He do it?  Is He angry and vengeful?  Is He loving and compassionate?  Is He a stickler about rules?  Is He forgiving?  How can we be ambassadors, acting for and representing, a God that we have not taken the time to get to know.

Maybe most of us do not take the time to get to know Him because many tend to see Him as an untouchable, and unreachable King, separated by the distance of Heaven and Earth.  Or, maybe, many of us just see Him as a figure that we read about just like people and events from our History Books.

Once we take the time, to begin to get to know the sound His voice, the feel of His presence, how to see through His eyes, the smell of His sweet aroma, the taste of His goodness, He is as real as you or I; never separated by distance, but always available within us, waiting ever so patiently to fellowship, to lead us, to guide us, to provide for us, to protect us, and most importantly to love us.
