When I look in the mirror, what do I see? Do I see a face I want to be critical of, hair I wish were different, or skin that is imperfect? I must say, I do have a tendency to see the outward rather than the inward, yet God sees the inward.
Our heavenly Father wants us to reflect an intimacy with Him. To do this I need to get to know Him just as I know myself. He wants my reflection to characterize Him. That comes from a heart of faith and love and a commitment to study His Word! I am God's workmanship, and, as such, I need to reflect His ways. I have learned through the years that when I live in such a way which shows kindness and love toward others, they see me more for what I am from the inside rather than the outward.
Romans 8: 27 "And He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He interceded for the saints according to the will of God."
