Reflected – Proverbs 27:19

As a face is reflected in water, so the heart reflects the real person.

Proverbs 27:19 (NLT)

Reflections are visible in calm water; its mirror-like qualities reflect the item. In still water, a face is reflected as a face.

A person’s heart, inner thoughts, and attitudes reflect the real person. In Jeremiah, it says that hearts can be wicked and deceitful.

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Jeremiah 17:9 (KJV)

When we look in a mirror, we examine our faces; we also need to examine our hearts to see what we are reflecting. Our heart is the origin of our moral decisions. We should check our hearts to confirm our inner thoughts are not evil but holy, pure, and good. Our heart reflects us showing the real person.

⁂

What are the thoughts of your heart reflecting about you?

Prayer: Our Heavenly Father, thank You for Your love, mercy, and grace. Like still water reflects items, let Your love be reflected in our hearts. Guide us to maintain inner thoughts that are wholesome, pure, and good. As flowers reflect in still water, let us reflect and glorify You through good works. In Jesus’ name. Amen
