DAY 113

As Water Reflects the Face

Proverbs 27:19
기원전 10~6세기 편집 (히브리 지혜문학)
ORIGINAL
כַּמַּיִם הַפָּנִים לַפָּנִים כֵּן לֵב־הָאָדָם לָאָדָם
📜 THE VERSE

As water reflects the face, so one's heart reflects the person.

❓ TODAY'S QUESTION

What I see in others — could it be my own heart reflected back?

📝Reflection

Strangely, what I keep seeing in others is usually what lives in me. As water mirrors a face, a person sees his own heart in another. On a day my heart is sharp, the whole world seems to attack me; on a generous day, the same people look warm. In the end the world is made by the mind. Before blaming others, to look at what color my own water is right now — from there, relationships change.
