Mirror and Glass ...
There are two "refrences" in the scriptures that came to my heart this morning. One is about looking through a glass dimly ... meaning when we see spiritually, we only see in part.
The other refrence is about how we can look in the mirror and indeed see ourselves, but as soon as we turn away we forget what we look like.
I have here today, old pictures and new ones. Unless you fallow my blog you may not be able to tell which ones are which.
Both sets of photo's work with the mirror effect. As I reflect back, I see changes I have made and more changes I need to make. I did not just look at myself one day and realize my needs for change ... I had feedback and honesty from others. NOTE: When I looked at myself I did not see my need for sanctification at first..... but I loved my neighbor as myself and I started to seek change.
I believe some of the most detramental problems we as people posess are the ones we do not see OR at least we cant seem them very clearly. If we truly "SAW" we would change on our own prompting. I also believe these sins or shortcomings, if you will, are the very things that hurt others and ourselves the most. I need more than a mirror ... I need Gods help and loving honest people in my life.
I'm glad I sought change BEFORE I saw more cleary ....
My son has reaped the biggest benefit from this season ... he has seen a model for change like never before (no pride intended)....at least i'm looking a little better to him as my heart manifests all that is within it on a daily basis. I thank one of my best friends D___ for being open with me ... he was loving enough to wound me and boy did I wound ... but I knew it was all good.
Yes, even when it hurt I went to the FACT there is refrence to our human blindness and I was determined not to be a fool to the knowledge I had.....wew...I have made it this far ~
I have a beautiful mind ~I give thanks for all that God has given and that His mercies are new every morning~
