Mirrored Reflection - August 17, 2005
When you wake up in the morning and look in the mirror, what do you see? Is there an image of a less-than-perfect person staring back at you? One whose eyes are a little bit nearsighted, or with teeth that are horribly crooked? Or, perhaps you have hair where you don't want it and not enough hair where you need it most. How critical are we of the image that stands before us in the mirror?
Have we forgotten that a long time ago, God created us in His image? (Genesis 1:27) We are not some science experiment gone wrong or the end result of the slime that wandered on the earth; we are precious, hand-carved treasures from our Father's hands; a priceless apple of His eye. Some of us may may be large or small treasure in size, but we are all loved the same. We are more precious than the most brilliant silver or expensive piece of gold ever seen.
Next time you look in the mirror, think about Psalm 139:13: "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
Next time you take a look in that mirror, the reflection looking back may not seem so bad after all! Take a good look today and appreciate the gift of life that God has given each of us every single day.
