Reflections

I like fruit.
Not all kinds of fruit-granted but alot-you know the basics
Apples,bananas,oranges ,grapes etc.,etc.
I observeed the other day some pears ina bowl with other fruit,Apples and some oranges together resting comfortably waiting for one of us to extract them to insatiate our hunger.
Then I saw it.
A Danjou pear was reclining or had been reclining next to an orange.i picked it up and noticed that the skin of the pear had begun to take on the color of that orange-a most amazing sight.
The orange's color began to rub off onto the pear.
I then noticed the pear did the same thing after being next to an apple for awhile.
Humans are like pears.
We begin to take on the color(identity) of those we ally ourselves to closely.
Good or bad, the image begins to tatoo our color.
If we hang next to bad fruit,we then turn bad ourselves.
Good fruit, we become good.
If we stay close to Christ,His image will take hold upon us in that its not us so much but Him people begin to see.
His image begins to rub off on us.
We become transformed into His image.
Our lives are changed because of His reflection on us.
