do you like what you see?

How often can we Christians look in the proverbial mirror and say "I am the perfect child of God?" For me, never, not while being truthful to God.  He gave me an image to prove that I, while in the flesh, can never be "perfect".  God/Jesus/Holy Ghost visited me in a vision/dream holding a mirror.  They said come, take a look, a good close look at yourself. Here is an opportunity to play God on yourself. Tell me if you are 100% pleased with what you see.  The catch was that the mirror allowed me to see myself from the inside out, through the eyes of God. He tells me, once your done observing, feel free to pick out what you don't like.  Well, when all was said and done,  had about 1% of me left, and i am sure that is being generous.

I feel we all should examine ourselves in a similar fashion on a regular basis, and then go to God to ask what is His will to make us whole again. There is a high level of humility, intimacy, vulnerability, and trust in God required to do this correctly, as I am learning. But, who better to be these attributes with than God? The one constant in the universe, and He only wants to help you get better. So to me, its worth it to give it a wholehearted chance as it will only help you get closer to God
Now, having said that, we know there are people who just know they are perfect as they are, and love the opportunity to point out someone elses shortcomings.  To them,  offer a caution: John 8:7
So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.”  To translate this verse in my own words, the Holy Trinity are the only beings to ever walk this planet.  Don't judge others, especially if you are guilty as well.help your fellow Christian up in the name of Jesus.

In closing,  we need to look into the mirror through the eyes of God in order to not be the the offenders Jesus speaks against in John 8:7. Go to god in prayer and ask Him to grant you His sight so you see for yourself what needs to be taken out, fixed, or improved upon within you.  If we take our time and do this, we won't have time to think about what someone else is guilty of. We will only have time to fix and repent forour own issues with the helping and able hand of Jesus. Amen
