Mirror On The Wall

 Mirror reflections can be deceiving just as people can.  In other words, "All that glitters is not gold" or "Appearances can be deceiving." 

Mirror On The Wall

 Mirror, mirror on the wall.

Tell it all.

Do not deceive

Show what others perceive?

Reveal what’s in my heart.

Does it reflect God’s goodly art?

Does love show in my outward face,

And am I deserving of God’s grace?

Mirror, mirror on the wall,

Reflect it all.

Beauty or vanity!

Humanity or Christianity? 

Show what’s seen;

What others glean-

Not just the wrinkles

But what’s in the mind.

What do you find? 

Are thoughts kind? 

Am I, with Jesus, aligned?

Shadows here and shadows there-

Within my view I see a glare-

My reflection not always fair.

Standing in front of you, 

Tell it true!

Help me see what others view. 

As the light above me shines

And shows the lines,

Mirror, mirror on the wall,

Please, tell it all.

“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”  Matthew 5:15 NIV

 

Mirror, Mirror!

     "Mirror, mirror, on the wall.  Who is the fairest of them all?"  

     Have you ever looked in the mirror to see, really see, who you are.  Forget the beauty, the not so pretty, the flaws, the wrinkles.   Just look deep.   Who are you?  What do you see?  What do you want to see? 

      James 1:22-24 state, " But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.  For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:  For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was."

     Do you see, in the mirror, a person so distracted by the world, you forget the important things of life?  Or, do you see inner spiritual growth?   Do you see a caring heart?  Do you see a forgiving heart?  Do you see a doer of the Word? 

     "Mirror, mirror, on the wall"...Who am I? What do I see?  Better yet, what do others see when my face is reflected before them?
