Who do you look like?

It is National Look A Like Day. A day set aside where we are to choose someone to look like. While I did not awake this morning and prepare myself to look like anyone other than me, I do get the old, "You look so familiar" quite often. It seems I can be almost anywhere and, upon meeting someone new, they will utter, "How do I know you? You look so familiar."

Some in my family will say that my brothers and I resemble each other, which we sort of do. But, they are built more and look a little more like my Pops' side of the family, while I am built more and resemble more of my Mom's side. Now, that doesn't matter. The fact is that we all have a familial resemblance, as family should.

Today's word is 2 Corinthians 3:18, NLT, which reads, "So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the LORD--Who is the Spirit--makes us more and more like Him as we are changed into His glorious image."

If you are a child of GOD, and I pray you are, you have had the veil of legalism removed and you should be reflecting the glory of the LORD. We, as GOD'S children, should be reflecting grace and mercy, just as GOD has reflected the same to us. This scripture tells us that if we will allow GOD to use us and to work through us, if we will draw nigh to Him and follow His commandments, He is making us more and more like Him as He is changing us into His glorious image. Isn't that a great visual? GOD is transforming us into what we should be.

As we go through life, our looks are going to change. I know mine certainly have; not that they were ever very good but they are certainly not what they used to be. But, those are our physical looks; our spiritual looks should be changing as well. However, our physical looks and our spiritual looks should be moving in different directions. While we grow older physically, we should be growing more mature spiritually. While we begin to look like our Dads or Moms physically, we should also look more and more like our Heavenly Father. So, who do you look like?

Be Blessed,
