Mirroring Goodness

TALKING TO GOD

Thank God for His goodness and ask Him to reflect His goodness in you.

DIVING IN

Take a mirror and stand near a window where the sunshine is bright. (If there is no bright sunshine, use a lamp.) Tilt the mirror so it reflects the light. Take turns using the mirror to shine the sun’s light on each other. Avoid shining the light in each other’s eyes. Instead, focus it on their hearts.

GOING DEEPER

Those who stood in the reflected light of the mirror could see that the light came through the lamp and not from the person holding the mirror. In the same way, we can reflect God’s goodness to others. Matthew 5:16 says, “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” God’s goodness shines through you and has the power to change hearts. When you do good for others, you are mirroring God’s goodness to them.
