Greetings,


A Heart That Reflects Christ


"As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart." — Proverbs 27:19


Proverbs 27:19

Unpacking the Message of Verse Proverbs 27:19


Proverbs 27:19 presents a simple yet profound truth: just as water provides a clear reflection of a person’s face, a person’s life reveals what is in their heart. This verse invites us to examine the connection between our inner character and the outward expression of our lives.


Water serves as a natural mirror. In ancient times, before glass mirrors were common, still water was one of the best ways to see one’s reflection. The way water reflects a face is straightforward and accurate—what you see is what is there. Likewise, a person's life is a reflection of their heart, meaning that our actions, choices, and habits naturally reveal what is inside us. What we prioritize, how we treat others, and the way we respond to challenges are all indicators of the condition of our hearts.


Jesus reinforces this idea in Luke 6:45 when He says, "A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of." The heart is the wellspring of life, and it cannot help but show itself in a person’s behavior. If someone harbors bitterness, anger, or selfishness, it will inevitably manifest in their relationships, words, and decisions. Conversely, a heart full of love, kindness, and faith in God will produce a life that radiates those qualities.

This verse also calls for self-reflection. Just as looking into a mirror helps us assess our physical appearance, evaluating our lives allows us to assess the state of our hearts. If we do not like what we see in our actions, attitudes, or interactions with others, it is a sign that our hearts need transformation. The good news is that God specializes in heart change. Ezekiel 36:26 promises, "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh."


Transformation of the heart happens through intentional surrender to God. Spending time in His Word, praying, and surrounding ourselves with godly influences helps shape our inner being. Philippians 4:8 encourages believers to focus on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy—because what we fill our hearts with ultimately shapes the reflection of our lives.


The verse also emphasizes authenticity. Just as water gives an honest reflection, our lives should reflect who we truly are. It is easy to put on a façade, but ultimately, our true character will emerge. This is why integrity is so valuable; a person of integrity is the same in private as they are in public. Proverbs 4:23 warns, "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." This means being intentional about what influences our hearts—whether through media, friendships, or personal thoughts—because those influences will shape the way we live.

Another key takeaway from Proverbs 27:19 is that transformation is an ongoing process. A pond does not always reflect clearly if it is disturbed or filled with debris. Similarly, our lives may not always reflect Christ perfectly, but through continuous refinement by the Holy Spirit, the clarity of our reflection improves. Just as water must be still to provide a clear image, we must take time to be still before God, allowing Him to work in us.


This verse also challenges us in our relationships. If we want to know what someone values, we need only look at their life. The fruit of their actions—whether good or bad—comes from the state of their heart. This is why scripture warns against being unequally yoked (2 Corinthians 6:14) and encourages believers to surround themselves with those who will sharpen them in their faith (Proverbs 27:17).


Ultimately, Proverbs 27:19 is both a reflection and an invitation. It reflects the reality that our lives reveal our hearts, but it also invites us to pursue a heart aligned with God. When we allow Him to shape our desires, thoughts, and motivations, our lives will reflect His love, grace, and wisdom, bringing glory to Him and blessing those around us.

Closing thoughts as I pray for those reading or hearing this verse today...


Our lives are a reflection of what’s in our hearts. Just as a still pond mirrors our image, our actions, words, and choices reveal the condition of our spirit.


When our hearts are filled with Christ’s love, peace, and wisdom, that is what shines through in our daily lives.


Take a moment today to reflect—what does your life say about your heart?


May we continually seek the Lord, allowing Him to shape us so that our lives reflect His goodness and grace to the world.


In His love 🙏🏻

CFTC RULE 4.41 Hypothetical or simulated performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

IMPORTANT NOTICE! No representation is being made that the use of this strategy or any system or trading methodology will generate profits. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. There is substantial risk of loss associated with trading securities and options on equities. Only risk capital should be used to trade. Trading securities is not suitable for everyone.

The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before getting involved in Cryptocurrency trading you should carefully consider your personal venture objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial deposit and therefore you should not place funds that you cannot afford to lose.

Hypothetical Results Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations - unless noted otherwise that an image or any material discloses live money was used, results displayed or openly discussed are to be assumed simulated for educational purposes only. No live money brokerage accounts will be traded or displayed by request or otherwise.  Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs, in general, are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
