Man in The Mirror

Mirror, mirror on the wall…May I see…How I really look… When looking at yourself in the mirror, your mission is to see you for yourself and for who you truly are! "As water reflects the face, so one's life reflects the heart." - Proverbs 27:19 Mirror symbolize: Mirrors reflect light which allows them to reflect the world around them. In spiritual concepts, light is a powerful symbol of wisdom and awareness. As a consequence, mirrors are symbols and carriers of truth and reflect what our truth is. Here are some thoughts of characteristics and uses of a mirror applied…. • We look into the mirror to see how we look and make changes – No one looks into a mirror; sees something he needs to change and then just forgets about it.  • The better the mirror, the better the reflection. A poor-quality mirror often introduces distortions. We must be aware of looking at ourselves through the eyes of others, what we have, or titles and positions, but must instead see ourselves as God sees us. Look into the perfect Word instead of the polluted world. • Reflective – God’s Word reflects his personality, reflects his attributes, attitudes, and desires. It also shows us how God sees us.  • Introspective – Through reading God’s Word, we see Him and we see ourselves and the areas of our lives where we don’t measure up to God’s standards  • A mirror can break – Although a mirror can break, God’s word will stand forever.  • The only thing you usually get from a shattered mirror is a cut hand! – Often, when we have shattered families, or other aspects of our lives are shattered, we get wounded because we use these things as our mirrors instead of God’s Word.
