Metamorphosed Through Observation
2nd Corinthians 3:18
The most prominent attribute a Christian may demonstrate is an absolute transparency in the presence of God, enabling their life to serve as a reflection for others. Through the infusion of the Spirit, our beings undergo a profound metamorphosis, and as we contemplate the divine presence, we are transmuted into reflective surfaces. One can easily discern when someone has experienced the divine presence of the Lord, since their inner spirit perceives a reflection of the Lord's own nature. Be cautious of anything that could blemish or diminish the reflection within you. It is typically a positive thing that will leave a mark on it— something positive, although not the optimal choice.
Our foremost principle is to focus on maintaining a receptive attitude towards God in our lives. Set aside all other things, such as employment, clothing, and food. The multitude of tasks hinders our ability to focus on God. In order to remain connected with Him, it is essential to ensure that our lives are consistently imbued with spirituality. Allow external matters to fluctuate freely; permit others to critique us as they want; but, ensure that nothing obscures the existence that is concealed within Christ in God (Colossians 3:3). Ensure that a fast-paced way of life does not disrupt the state of remaining steadfast in one's connection with Him. Enabling this is a straightforward task, but we must be cautious and take measures to prevent any negative consequences. One of the most challenging aspects of the Christian journey is acquiring the skill of consistently perceiving and appreciating the magnificence of the Lord, as if looking into a mirror.
