[The Glory Unveiled]
But we all, with open [unveiled] 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. ( 2Corinthians 3:18 )
We can only give out what we have within us. And what we have within us is what we took in. There is a famous account in the book of Exodus of how Moses was with the lord for forty days and night. Upon his return, Moses’ face beamed with the glory of God. Because he had been with God, he came down from the mountain reproducing what he had seen. What we see is what we reproduce. There is also a record in Genesis 30:38-39, of how some pregnant animals produced young ones after the colours they were exposed to by Jacob during their pregnancy, emphasizing the fact that we reproduce what we are exposed to. This is why Jesus said that the eye is the lamp of the body (see Matthew 6:22). Our body can only go where our eyes have lighted for us to go. For this reason we must be very careful what we permit our eyes to see continuously. Because what we continuously allow into our eyes have a way of recoding our reality so that our lives begin to echoe what we see. It is a dangerous thing to sell or hire our eyes to the world and a foolish thing to expect a glorious remuneration for it. By the Spirit of God, we are changed into the similitude of Christ as we behold Him in his word.
Prayer_Bead: Father in the name of Jesus, thank you for removing the veil that blinded me from seeing your glory. Change me into the image of Christ even by the Holy Spirit.
