What would the answer be?

           Whether from a worldview standpoint or a spiritual viewpoint, I wonder how many men see themselves in the mirror at least once a day and entertain the question "what kind of life am I leading?"  The face staring back at us from our mirrors, as we face them while shaving or grooming each morning, can be a bluntly stark reminder of who we are and how we are doing life.  There are two things we can't hide our deepest selves from--ourselves and God.

           Those bathroom mirrors can be our friend or an adversary.  They are our friend when we openly meet the guy staring back at us and accept what those eyes are telling us--that we're ok, that we're making progress, that we're still screwing up in this thing called doing life, and that this day is a brand new one given to us so that we can try all over again to get it right.  It's our adversary when we lock on the eyes staring back at us and think defiantly "I'm ok, I'm doing it right and I don't need any change in my life."  Denial and delusion about any brokenness we may have is a tool from Satan's tool bag, one meant to stop us from being committed Christ followers.



          

Bottom Line Thought:  As you stand before your mirror, if you asked the question "What kind of life am I leading?", what would the truthful answer be from the man staring back at you be?
