Meditation Thought: “ And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. (2 Corinthians 3:18)
The glory of the Lord shines into our contrite heart,
Our dark intentions, our despairing souls become transformed: the warmth of Love,
The light of Truth
Penetrate: healing, purifying, beautifying.
As we are changed into His likeness.
We once again reflect His image, as He made us,
The ravage of the rebellious years
Is removed – remembered no more.
As a father’s glory is enhanced by his child’s true reflection of his father,
So the glory of the Lord is enhanced by our reflection of Him.
We reflect Him when His Spirit is within us,
Giving us His qualities in such abundance
That all alien forces take flight:
Hate flees from love.
Selfishness flees from grace.
Sin flees from mercy.
Doubt flees from faith.
His righteousness takes possession of us.
Not the righteousness of a pharisee is this,
But the righteousness of a Christ.
The righteousness of a lover, a giver, a healer.
