Read Hebrews 13
We all do it. From the youngest child to the oldest adult, all have looked into a mirror. We have a fireplace in our home that my son constantly looks into because he can see his reflection. He watches himself sing, preach, and act like a horse just so he can laugh at himself.
There is nothing like the time spent looking into the mirror trying to find all of our blemishes, and trying to fix that colic right there by the part in your hair. How many hours of our life are spent in front of a mirror is anyone’s guess. Sometimes we like what we see and other times we are not so sure about that face we are looking at. Can anyone relate?
God is like a mirror. He never changes, but everyone that looks into Him sees something different. It is amazing to listen to different people try to describe God. They see Him as amazing, wonderful, awesome, big, loving, caring, and the descriptions could go on for eternity.
The important question is to ask, “What do I see in Him?” It really doesn’t matter what others may think of God. It only really matters what you think of God. God looks back from the “mirror” side of things and sees you for who you really are. You are a divine creation. You are a chosen vessel. You are the apple of His eye. You look like Him. This is why it is so important about what you think about Him. When you look into the mirror, what do you see?
Do you see all of your short comings? Do you see all of your blemishes? Or, do you see His blood? Do you see His mercy and grace? When you look into the mirror of your life, how you see God, is how you will see yourself, and more importantly, you need to see how God looks.
