Your mirror in each other

Two small hand mirrors propped facing each other on a table, each reflecting a tiny heart instead of a face.

Kind Lord God, you choose to make each of us a mirror of you, so that in one another we can see your likeness and love you. Please help every one of us to love like that, and to be loved like that. For Jesus’ sake. Amen.

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God remains in us, and His love is perfected in us.

1 John 4:12 (BSB)
