I Looked Into My Mirror

I looked into my mirror and what did I see? My hair looked okay and so did my face. After all, I’m in lockdown and who can see me? I see me, a failed woman staring back at me. I didn’t make many calls this week to people who are alone, sick or without work.  I haven’t prayed nearly enough for the families who have lost loved ones. I haven’t prayed at all for those who have lost their jobs. I have only prayed a little for those who are hungry or cold. That’s why I see a failed woman when I look into my mirror.

But God looks at me too, and what does he see? He sees a child of  His who doesn’t always do the very best thing, but His child anyway.   A child who has asked him to be His Father, believes Jesus died for my sins, and rose again on Easter to give me eternal life with Him in Heaven! He must have a stronger mirror than I. And am I glad!

What do you see when you look in your mirror?  Probably you see the same, a failed man or woman. I hope God sees you as His child. If not, why not change that right now! As for me, I’ll go make some phone calls. And when I’m done with that, I’ll go to my closet and pray.
