Mirror

When you look in a mirror, what do you see?

A young girl sees her self part beautiful and part sad.

Why do we always point the positives and the negatives out?

A man sees himself successful in his career and unattractive.

Is the mirror something we look into to check our status?

A lady sees herself as a strong business women and a weak mother.

We try to find the perfect image through a mirror or maybe it’s not really there?

An old man sees himself wise and unworthy to the world.

Instead of looking for a perfect image through the mirror look at the picture.

The image was given to us along time ago, the image of God.
