Reflection

What do you see when you look at your reflection in the mirror? This is the question that was asked of me this morning by my Dad.  This is a deep rooted question.  If you look past the physical appearance and truly look at yourself and who you are, what you are, who you have become, is your heart content?  I look and am thankful that I have a blessed savior who went to the cross to gain victory over my sin.  He arose victorious over my every mistake, my poor choices in life, and my short comings.  The great thing about this is I can look in the mirror and see victory even in the troubled times in my life.  With every mistake I make He draws me closer to Him.  He guides me on my path in life.  It is amazing to me that there is nothing I can do that His blood didn't cover on the cross.  He loves me so much that He makes every trail a blessing by letting me go through it and helps me to rely on Him more and more.  When I am week and can't withstand on my own He wants me to trust in Him.  He makes everything He has available to me...His strength, His love, His compassion, His joy.  The bible says His mercies are new every morning.  With every step I take though the good choices and the bad He works it together for good.  The good things make me thankful and the bad make me stronger and make me trust Him more. He is so deserving! He wants us to love Him and trust in Him.  He has already paid my price with His blood and helps me walk through my life everyday.  Everyday is a blessing to me.  I have victory in Him, through Him.  I can look in the mirror and tell myself I am worth it. I am so glad that He gave me all I need to trust Him.  Even the faith to come to know Him.  When I look in my mirror I want to see His reflection in my life.  I am so thankful that He loves me.
