Mirror Mirror

When you look into the mirror, what are you looking at or for? Do you remember when the the evil witch in Snow White heard back from the mirror that she was no longer the “fairest of them all…”? That was the day everything changed. Funny thing was that her reflection had not changed, nor anything about her, but merely the opinion of the mirror had changed. When that changed, so did how she saw herself.

The minute she did not “see” herself as the best, she looked to solve her “problem”, and she became consumed by this. We all know that the witch’s problem wasn’t Snow White; it was pride. We do this. We allow things to obscure how we want to see ourselves. Being created in the image of God means that the reflection is of what God made, not just how we see it. So then when it comes to our reflection, whose opinion about it matters the most?

2 Corinthians 3:18 (NLT)
 “So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.”

The veil Paul is speaking about here is the one that keeps us from seeing who we are in Christ. You “see”, it’s not what we see in our reflection that matters most, but whom others see reflected in us.

Reflect much?
