Spiritual Portraits.

Take time to observe your face in a mirror. What things do you like about the way you look? What things would you like to change? 
Can you see traces of your parents in your appearance? 


Imagine what your spiritual portrait looks like to God. 
When he looks deep inside you, what does he find there? 
What are your best features? 
What parts of you would God like to remodel?
Can he find traces of himself inside you? 
Can he see his resemblance as you tell your friends that you belong to him?


The Holy Spirit living inside you is like the spiritual DNA that shows you are God's child. Others can see the resemblance at a glance. 


Philippians 1:6


being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

God will never just quit or give up on you.
The Holy Spirit is always at work making your insides more beautiful. You can be sure that, as you grow spiritually, you will look more and more like your Father. 
As you make daily decisions about what to do and say, think of the effect each motive and action has on your spiritual portrait.
