Role Reversal
Philippians 2:15 (Amplified Bible)
15That you may show yourselves to be blameless and guiltless, innocent and uncontaminated, children of God without blemish (faultless, unrebukable) in the midst of a crooked and wicked generation [spiritually perverted and perverse], among whom you are seen as bright lights (stars or beacons shining out clearly) in the [dark] world,
Before I got divorced, my ex and I decided to go through marriage counseling. It was very hard, but one of the easiest assignments turned out to be one of the hardest and most hurtful. It was role reversal. We had to imitate how we saw the other person. Man was I shocked at some of the ways my spouse had saw me.
The other day as I was going about my normal routine of things, I thought how would a counseling session with Christ go? How would Christ imitate me? Would it be a hurtful look in the mirror, or a refreshing show to watch? Would Jaida be allowed to watch, or would I need a warning- - -inappropriate for children?
So often we go through life living and acting as if we are the only thing in the world. We don’t stop to think of how our actions, words, or deeds affecting the people around us. We don’t take the time to step in the shoes of the man or woman next to us.
Today as we begin another day, let's make sure we are living in such a way that if someone had to imitate us, it would be pleasing to God.
