Fw: Gray reflections

 

I am forwarding this picture of my local pond. As I walked there this morning, enjoying some quiet time with the Lord I noticed that the pond was reflecting a gray sky. It occurred to me that sometimes even our private times with the Lord seem like "gray reflections". We don't always have great bursts of brilliant light and 'break through' revelations. It is comforting to know that the Lord is with us even in the gray times, when life is quiet and close and our thoughts seem somewhat closed in by a low hanging sky. The important thing seems to be the reminder that, nevertheless He is also close and He is aware and He is ready to reflect peace back into our hearts as we walk with Him.

1 Corinthians 13:12 Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity.

Sometimes our times of reflection with the Lord are gray like the pond's reflection of this morning's sky.
