"And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit."
(2 Corinthians 3:18)
How attached are you to the mirror?
Today let us consider the image which we reflect the most profoundly. As women we have a great ability to live as mirrors that reflect the face of Christ to those around us. However, we often make our focus centered on ourselves and we become consumed with concern for our own reflection. Do we look into the mirror more than we look into the reflection of our soul? What do we reflect in our interactions and daily lives? If we are "being transformed into his image" as our Scripture says, then we become a beautiful reflection of the heart of God.
When you shine a light into a mirror the rays bounce off in all different directions filling the room with more light. If we become living reflections of Christ, then the rays of His grace will shine through us, radiating outward to make the world a brighter place.
We are reminded of a quote we looked at previously by Jenny Schroedel, "People like Mother Teresa didn't spend much time in front of the mirror. Instead, she devoted herself to becoming a mirror, reflecting God's dancing light wherever she went." Let us spend less time glancing into the mirror and more time becoming the mirror.
Today's Challenge:
Look in the mirror less today. Instead, look into your soul and consider the ways that you are reflecting God's love, and the ways that you need to improve.
Today's Prayer:
Heavenly Father, take my eyes off the mirror and onto you. Help me to know the true beauty of my soul, to be transformed into your likeness, and to let my inward beauty shine. Take away all vain thoughts and give me confidence to walk in your truth and reflect you in the world. I love you Jesus, more than anything. Amen.
