Galatians 6:3 For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

What do you see when you look in the mirror? A mirror is a reflection of reality but is the image in the mirror how we see ourselves?

Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

What the mirror won’t reflect is what you were before you came to Christ. It cannot reflect your past. If we have been around long enough to have photographs of what we looked like before we came to Christ we can see physical changes, but not the changes that God sees.

What is it you want to see in the mirror?

1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

Some want to see Jesus in the mirror because we are hoping to be more Christlike.

Ephesians 4:13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,

Philippians 2:13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

We will never see ourselves like God sees us until we see Him face to face.

I can change my image but not my character. That is God’s purview.
