Transformed by Beholding

"We all, with unveiled face, behold as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image..." 2 Corinthians 3:18

The greatest characteristic a Christian can exhibit is this completely unveiled openness before God, which allows that person's life to become a mirror for others. When the Spirit fills us, we are transformed, and by beholding God we become mirrors. You can always tell when someone has been beholding the glory of the Lord, because your inner spirit senses that he mirrors the Lord's own character. Beware of anything that would spot or tarnish that mirror in you. It is almost always something good that will stain it-something good, but not what is best.
the most important rule for us is to concentrate on keeping our lives open to God.........
