Mirror, Mirror

Good Morning My Beloved Ones,

      I pray that you are showing forth the glory of God in all you say and all you do.

     Today I want to talk to you about, “Mirror, Mirror”.  We are all familiar with the story of Snow White.  The wicked queen would stand before her magic mirror each day and ask, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?”  The mirror would have to answer truthfully, because we all know that mirrors don’t lie. 

    We are told in Exodus Chapter 34 that Moses went up on Mount Sinai to receive the 10 commandments and as he spoke with God the skin of his face shown with the glory of God.  This also happened when Moses would go into the tabernacle of meeting to inquire of the Lord.  Moses’ face was a mirror reflecting God’s glory and radiance.  When he came down from the mountain or out of the tabernacle, the people shielded their eyes and asked Moses to wear a veil over his face so they wouldn’t have to look at it.

     We don’t always like what we see in the mirror, do we?  The children of Israel not only beheld the glory of God on Moses’ face, they also saw what was lacking in them.  The knowledge was so painful they had to shield their eyes and ask that the mirror be covered.

     There are those among us today (hopefully some who are reading this letter) who, like Moses, spend time in the presence of the Lord and reflect His glory.  2 Corinthians 3:18 says, “But we all with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”

     “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?”  “Lord Jesus is fairest in this place.  I see Him reflected in your face.”  Be that mirror, beloved ones.  Show Jesus to the world.  Some may need to shield their eyes, but don’t cover your mirror.  In Christ, the veil has been taken away.

Trying to reflect the fairest of them all, your sister, Raelynn
