reflections

In this photograph you can see the reflection of Mt. Timpanogos in a small pond near Utah Lake. I love reflections. They are not the actual object themselves, but the object is able to reflect off other surfaces their image. Isn't it interesting that the vast Timpanogos mountain can be reflected in such a small pond? So it is with Jesus Christ. His greatness and glory is so many times reflected in small and simple ways through those around us. I see Christ's reflection in the smile of a child, in the tears of the suffering, in an aged couple holding hands, in the sleepless eyes of a young mother, in the quiet prayer of troubled teenager, in one who is willing to stop and listen, in the tenderness of a loving brother. Yes, the way we see Christ is by looking for His reflection in others.
