Whose Image?
Have you noticed that we live in an image-obsessed society? Social media is used to present the very best of our airbrushed, edited, filtered pictures and videos so people get the idea that we have nearly perfect lives with flawless skin, the ability to perform incredible stunts, tell hilarious jokes, or live in a perfectly clean or perfectly decorated home.
These often fictitious images can lead us to feel discontent or even jealous, and we want to look like, talk like, dress like these people, and spend way too much time and money trying to keep up. What if we were to be able to pull back the curtain and take a peek into their lives? What would we see?
Based on what we have seen over time, I would say that we would often see brokenness, addiction, emotional instability, unhealthy habits, shattered relationships, and more. Why? Because they have made success and their image their god.
As believers, our lives should be modeled after Jesus Christ. You see, He made us in His image, and our love for Him and His love for us should dictate our actions, attitudes, and words. This reflection of Jesus starts in the heart as He changes our heart from one of self-love to a love for God and others. From that heart of love flows the right attitudes and responses, and the selfless love for others that only God can produce.
Whose image are you reflecting? Whose image do people see in your life?
