Does your image reflect Christ?
Gary Toole

Years ago mostly country folk called a mirror "a looking glass." Mirrors fascinate everyone and everything the first time they see themselves in one. The American Indian was amazed by this looking glass way back in history when the pioneers and pilgrims came to America. A baby can't figure out why they see themselves or even who they are looking at. An animal just can't get enough of looking in a mirror and dogs will bark thinking they are seeing another dog.

This old hillbilly had never seen a looking glass and when he did he bought it and brought it home. He didn't show it to his wife. He hung it out in the barn. He just couldn't get over his mirror. He couldn't look at himself enough. Not that he was good looking. It just amazed him. He would go out everyday and spend a lot of time in the barn looking in that mirror. So his wife got kind of suspicious and she thought he had another woman. One day she went out there to try and catch them and he wasn't in the barn but she did find the mirror and she looked in it and said, "So, you're the hussy my old man has been running with!"

The word of God says that if we read the Bible and don't be a doer of the word then we are like someone that looks in a mirror and sees themselves and then walks off and forgets what they look like.

You are a child of the king and his royal blood flows through your veins. We are made in his likeness and image, but through sin so many pervert that image. The question is, "When you look in the mirror does your life reflect the image of Christ?" If not then let Jesus change your life and truly become a new person in Christ Jesus. Then when you look at yourself the love of God will shine through. Can you say amen?
