June.13.01: Light For The Day - "Reflecting His Image"

--1 Corinthians 10:31 (RSV)
"So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, 
do all to the glory of God."

-- Colossians 3:17 (RSV)
"And whatever you do, in word or deed, 
do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, 
giving thanks to God the Father through him."

"Reflecting His Image."

I want my life to be a true reflection of my Lord,
And pray that I will never bring dishonor to His Name.
For those who do not know my precious Lord are judging me,
To look for any inconsistencies in what I claim.

And they examine all I do, and every word I speak,
To see if knowing Christ has brought a change that they can see.
But if I fail to live the way they think a Christian should,
I pray they won't reject salvation's gift because of me.

Please help me, Lord, to never lose my hunger for Your Word,
And keep me always focused on the One Whose Name I bear;
So when at last I meet my Savior when earth's work is done,
I'll find my life has challenged others who will meet me there.

-- Colossians 3:15-17 (RSV)
"And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, 
to which indeed you were called in the one body. 
And be thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, 
teach and admonish one another in all wisdom,
and sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs
with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
17 And whatever you do, in word or deed,
do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through him."
