The Beneficial - news for May 2024

What a crazy idea, that we’d turn away from a mirror and immediately forget our own image. As crazy as hearing the joy and hope and love in God’s word and preventing it from making any difference to our life. Lately I’ve been reading about Celtic thought, and one of the key ideas is: what is sown deepest in us is the image of God. By allowing God to release in us the wonderful person we are made to be, we allow God’s image to become one with our own. So when we look at ourselves, we have the potential to see God … now that’s worth remembering.
