The Mirror of Christ

“And all of us have had that veil removed so that we can be mirrors that brightly reflect the glory of the Lord. And as the Spirit of the Lord works within us, we become more and more like him and reflect his glory even more.” 2 Corinthians 3:18

If you were a mirror and on one side you were looking in and the other side was your reflection, what would people see as you walked towards them? Would they see sin and self, or would they see Christ?

It is the mirror of choice, the cream of the crop, and the best on the market. It is free and the benefits of this mirror are like no other mirror out there.

If one were to choose this mirror they would be choosing to see themselves for who they really are a sinner. They would see areas of sin that need tending to. They would be cleansed, purified, and pruned. All while seeing the love and time that was spent by the one who made them.

Some benefits of this mirror are it requires no light, the light is built in. In fact this light is so bright it can shine even in the darkest places, and the light will never burn out or lose its power. But it will be only as useful as one allows it to be.

The reflection is brighter and unlike any other reflection known to man. It displays a beauty so captivating, a love so desired, tenderness so comforting, mercy so undeserved, a type of forgiveness that is mesmerizing, and a peace that is indescribable.

This mirror will always work for you and not against you. It is the Mirror of Christ.

Those who choose this mirror are those who have received Christ, are faithful, obedient, have pure hearts, hunger for Christ, have had the veil removed, spend daily time in prayer and His word. They confess and repent of their sins daily are dedicated to serving Christ wholeheartedly and have a passion to share with others what Christ has done for them.

Those using this mirror must be prepared to stand out, be left out, and asked about.  


Prayer: Lord today and every day I want to pick up the Mirror of Christ. I want this mirror to be used so much that it becomes an addiction, a habit. I never want to go back to those other mirrors again. So I ask Lord that You give me the strength and discernment right away when I begin to slip. Amen
