Stephen’s face looked like an angel – and that was before his enemies! How about my face – angelic or could care less, or somewhere in between? God has been speaking to me about being more loving to people – strangers and friends alike – as I am away from church. It’s easy at church isn’t it? Easy to give a smile and show your love. Away from church is different. Someone came into my house the other day and I didn’t get up and hug her. The Lord rebuked me. It is those simple things that display Him in me. Even more than that is showing respect, honor and love to those who don’t like you. If I am to have my face look anything like an angel, then I have got to reflect Jesus in my face. I want others to see Him in me.

Come to think of it, the older I get, the more I look like my mom (genetics). Shouldn’t it stand to reason then, the older I get in Christ, the more I look like Him? (Look – both the way I appear and the way I look at others).
