Story summary

Greybobby and friends finally have Uncle Greybilly cornered, and devise a plan to remind him of who he is, and his heart for Jesus by using the lesson of Proverbs 27:19— our true reflection is found in Christ.

As in water face reflects face,
so the heart of man reflects the man.

What did We Learn?

Proverbs 27:19 says, “As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects the man.” Uncle Greybilly was trapped in false identities, forgetting who he really was.
But when he finally saw his reflection, he remembered the truth: not just his own face, but the heart that Jesus had already changed inside him. And that’s the same for us.
Who we really are isn’t found in pretending, or in the labels people give us, or even in the mistakes we’ve made.
Our true reflection is found in Christ. If we belong to Him, then our hearts show it—through love, forgiveness, and kindness that only He can give.
When we forget who we are, we can look back to Jesus, who never forgets us.

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You that in Jesus, we don’t have to pretend to be someone else.
Thank You for giving us new hearts that reflect Your love.
Please help us to remember who we are in You, especially when we’re tempted to listen to lies or forget the truth.
Make our lives shine with the reflection of Jesus, so that others see Him in us.
In Jesus’s Name we pray,
Amen.
