Seeing Your Heart Reflected in Water
My dear son,
As a face appears in still water, your heart gradually reveals the person you are. I hope you tend your inner life gently instead of spending all your effort polishing what others see. Tell me what you treasure and love.
An honest heart slowly finds expression in words and actions. Valuing another person's effort brings words of thanks; cherishing life makes your touch gentler. I am glad to see that kind of love growing within you.
Let us talk tonight about what has remained in your heart. We can examine thoughts you do not yet understand too. I want you to live truthfully before me and come to know yourself more deeply.
With all my love,
Your Father
Proverbs 27:19
WEB19Like water reflects a face, so a man’s heart reflects the man.
A short reflection
Proverbs compares the reflection of a face in water with the way a person's heart reveals who they are.
