This morning, while I was getting ready for work, my newest baby fluff cat, Midnight, rubbed up against my leg for attention. I picked him up for a cuddle and I sometimes like to look at us in the mirror because then I can see both our faces enjoying the affection. Midnight however decided he didn't like this one bit and proceeded to squirm to escape. This promted the question: Little fluff how do you know what you look like, if you never look in the mirror?
This reminded me of James chapter 1:23-25.
23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.
I ask you therefore, how often do you look at yourself in the mirror and see what measure of manor of person you are? It is only when we gaze into the 'eyes of Jesus' through looking at the word of God that we truly figure out who we really are. For no one has ever loved us like Christ did, for He gave His life to be the sacrifice for us so that we could live free.
