You are such a blessing to me, JK. Cannot express that enough in words of thanks. Your stories cut right to the heart and I am so blessed to know you here. The Lord speaks through you, JK. He takes people places deep inside them as they read your stories. May the Lord keep you ever so blessed and to keep sharing what you are sharing. One heck of a writer too! Love you brother and we shall talk and walk in Heaven.

Wow, what can I say, dear Gracella. Your words humble me and help me to pray even more. I have prayed the Lord would help me to share His beauty. Beauty that touches peoples hearts and show the immense greatness of our Lord. He is so wonderful. I can only be grateful to have a small window through which I can bring a little bit of His precious light to a dark world. So grateful for you. XXX

Thank you for sharing this reflection because it speaks deeply to the way truth confronts us when we finally stop looking away.Just like a physical mirror reveals what we may ignore God’s Word exposes the condition of our hearts.James writes that anyone who hears the word but does not do it is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and then walks away and forgets what he saw James 1:23–24.But when we allow the mirror to do its work transformation begins.Paul says we all with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory 2 Corinthians 3:18.This is not meant to shame us but to heal us.I also want to say this honestly and respectfully sir we have tried to reach you many times but it feels like you are avoiding us.Our intention is not pressure but fellowship and truth spoken in love as Scripture says speak the truth in love Ephesians 4:15.We care and we are praying and whenever you are ready we are here believing that God uses these moments when the mirror speaks to draw us closer to Himself.

This reminded me of A Portrait of Dorian Grey. You are excellent at writing biblical reminders into beautiful stories and I love to see when you’ve posted something new!
