How clean is your mirror?
The other day as I was cleaning the house I saw that a mirror had become quite unclean. I could see into it, but the image was distorted and blurred because of the collection of specks and dust. Gradually over time it had built up. At first I didn’t notice, it still was easy to see. Then, this day, I looked at it and saw just how hard it was to use. So I cleaned it. In a matter of minutes it was sparkling, shiny and fresh. The reflection was sharp and clear.
We are like that mirror. We go through life, daily making choices that may put a speck here or there. Perhaps we have talents left unused to grow dusty. Because of this we aren’t reflecting what we need to be as well as we might. The bible says in 1 Corinthians that man is made in God’s image and reflects His glory. In a matter of minutes you can be sparkling, shiny and fresh. You can take your bad choices and dusty talents to the one who washes them white as snow. Jesus. No matter how dirty we are He accepts us back.
…man is made in God’s image and reflects God’s glory. 1 Cor 11:7b NLT
“Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as whitesnow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. Isaiah 1:18 NIV
The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” Deuteronomy 31:8 NIV
