Beholding as in a Glass


2 Corinthians 3:18  "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."

Once we trust Christ by faith God begins to do a work on us.  He begins to conform us to the image of the Lord Jesus Christ.  He has to teach us to walk by faith, to trust, to obey and to yield ourselves to Him.  There is a pruning process involved as God prunes away everything that isn't honoring or glorifying to the Lord.  The things that are glorifying to God are left to grow and flourish.  We should be mirrors for the glory of God.  When people examine our lives they should see the reflected glory of the Lord.  The Holy Spirit works daily to make us into what He desires us to be.  How is your mirror today?  Is it clearly reflecting the glory of the Lord or is reflecting too much of self and self-will?
