Reflections

Art and writing by Lynne Hudson

On my walk, I found a mirrored bead - the type you would find in a piece of jewelry.

The Lord showed me that the object I held in my hand was like a mirrored ball that hangs at a party – one that reflects the colored lights out into the darkness. He showed me that there are two aspects to a mirrored ball: the ball itself and that which it reflects.

Imagine each individual around the globe as a reflection of God’s majesty. I painted this mirrored ball as a representation of the world. The multi-faceted colors of the rainbow illustrate that every individual is made to see and reflect God’s glory. The nations themselves are painted in tones of green, showing the fresh new beginnings that are starting to emerge in this monumental season.

Never forget the life-giving promises God has for you as you reflect His glory. He has you in the safety of His hands.

God then showed me these scriptures: 2 Cor. 3: 8, 12, 16-18 (TPT)

Yet how much more radiant is this new and glorious ministry of the Spirit that shines from us.

So then, with this amazing hope living in us, we step out in freedom and boldness to speak the truth.

But the moment one turns to the Lord with an open heart, the veil is lifted and they see. Now, the “Lord” I’m referring to is the Holy Spirit, and wherever he is Lord, there is freedom. We can all draw close to him with the veil removed from our faces. And with no veil we all become like mirrors who brightly reflect the glory of the Lord Jesus. We are being transfigured into his very image as we move from one brighter level of glory to another. And this glorious transfiguration comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
