Mirror, mirror on the wall

Nope, it's not about a fairy tale where we find out who the fairest of them all is.  This is all about the most important mirror of them all.  It's the one we need to look at more often.  Many of us spend way too little time looking at this mirror.  That can be due to fear, habit, ignorance, inability or lacking the desire to be real, and the list goes on.

 
I can hear the "yeah, buts" coming now. Perhaps it was your immediate thought that it is God who changes lives.   In answer to those, yes, it is God who works with us and in us to change our lives.  But, it is the guy looking in that mirror who has to invite Him in so that He can do His work.  The man in the mirror has to be willing to let change take place.  God is always there, He always wants to work in you, and He wants you to be the best  you can be.....but you've gotta want it!....and you gotta let Him.
 
Next time you're shaving in the morning, why not take an extra careful look at that mirror and the guy staring back at you and don't worry about who's the fairest of them all, but rather consider just how much that guy looking back at you needs some changes.  And then deal with those issues by asking the God that never fails us for His help in bringing them about.
