Reflection: what a powerful thing it is!
A reflection in a lake of a beautiful scene in a serene setting can have a stirring effect on the human heart. It can rouse within us an indescribable sense of peace, even holiness, and make us want to linger in that setting forever.
A material scene, however, can change. In this case, a mild rippling of the waters or a whipping up of waves can change both the mirror and the scene. Nevertheless, the sense of peace and holiness we may have felt in that setting can linger on. Why? Because peace and holiness are inherent in our true and permanent nature as God’s very own reflection, His own spiritual likeness. I’d like to see more of that reflection. Wouldn’t you?
