Y—You
Who have you seen today?
- Maybe a spouse or child.
- Maybe a co-worker.
- Maybe just yourself in the mirror.
Whoever it is, or whoever it will be, this person is an important part of your spiritual path.
Because this person is the one bearing the image of God to you. And to whom you are to reflect back the image of God.

It all comes back to humility, yes? I’m really amazed how that happens over and over. I’m re-reading Andrew Murray’s book, “Humility,” and it’s reminding me once again how critical humility is to our spiritual health.
