To reflect means to think on something quietly and calmly. I do that as I read my Bible. I sit quietly and think about God’s grace and mercy.

By grace I receive His love when I don’t deserve it.

By mercy I receive the undeserved gift of God’s kindness and compassion, a debt I couldn’t pay, but is paid by His love.

There’s another definition for the word reflect. It means to send back light from a surface. This meaning is to reflect an image, such as with a mirror.

As I reflect on the love of God, I want to also be a reflection

sending back the light of the image of Jesus.
