Last night I had a dream of a perfectly shined mirror, with a smudge of dirt across a portion of it. I woke up and immediately thought about how that smudge can ruin the perfect shine, it does not matter how clean the rest of the mirror was, with a mark across it the mirror was messy. On more prayer and reflection God pointed out that I can not fully see my self as He sees me, when I have a smudge blocking my vision.
The smudges can come in all kind of forms. Lies that others have told us, sling some mud on the mirror. Disobedience or sin in our life, sling some more mud up there. Keeping shame and worthlessness on our shoulders, yep more mud.
Instead of cleaning the filth off the mirror, we may try to see through it, or maneuver around it. Our vision is blocked. God knows how He sees our worth. He knows how He sees our gifting and abilities. He can even see where we will go when we have our clear vision and take the steps before us.
The enemy wants nothing more than to keep our vision blocked, but God says, “it is time to clean up those areas and wipe the mirror clean. See yourself as I see you, as I have created you. I am HE and I KNOW what you are and what your worth. Take of the mud that has been slung before you, that either you or others have placed in front of you. I give you all you need to see clearly, it is time to wipe it all away!”
A scripture that sits on my heart as I ask, Lord how do I clean this mirror???
Psalm 139: 23-24 Search me O God and know my heart; try me and know my anxieties; and see if there are any wicked ways in me and lead me in the way everlasting.
Be encouraged brothers and sisters. He has so much for you to see in yourselves that you have yet to discover! I am so excited to see what He has for me to behold.
Psalm 51:10- Create in me a clean heart o God and renew a steadfast Spirit within me.
The Spirit reminds me as I cry out;
Psalm 139: 13-14 For you formed my inward parts, you covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are your works, and that my soul knows very well.
Be encouraged brothers and sisters. He has so much for you to see in yourselves that you have yet to discover! I am so excited to see what He has for me to behold.

You really make it appear so easy together with your presentation but I in finding this matter to be really one thing that I think I’d by no means understand. It seems too complicated and very wide for me. I’m having a look forward in your next post, I’ll attempt to get the hold of it!

Rosalinda, Thank you for your comment. I understand about this one being complicated. It was a long lesson coming for me that is for sure!
I honestly don’t think it would have been so clear if not for that dream. But, when you seek, He helps you understand. I pray you find all that you search for 🙂
