Fire for HIM

Last evening, my children were watching a historical cartoon.  In the movie, someone looked into a shiny helmet and saw their eyes magnified.  This image startled the character.  What they saw was distorted due to the convex shape of the mirror.  How often do we find ourselves looking into a convex image?  We even put that looking glass on our heads and wear it like a helmet (our daily thinking about ourselves).  Every time we take it off to check our image, we see that distortion looking back at us.  We have allowed the convex nature of the mirror to determine our perception of ourselves.  According to the physics classroom, the focal point is in direct correlation to the distance of the image from the mirror.  Anyone else out there feeling conviction regarding our human nature and thought patterns?  This spoke volumes to me.  God did not intend for us to see distortio...

I was thinking about why many people see a broken mirror seen as 'bad luck'?  We are afraid og letting go of the familiar, even the deception regarding self. Are we HOLDING onto the image of self = stamina, sense of well being?  Is it true that the image we have seen for so long, surrendered and broken is a bad thing? THINK ABOUT IT:  When we look into the reflection in the mirror and gaze into the eyes of the Father, we see ourselves through the window of love from the ONE who made 'you'. "The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior [Who saves]! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them]; He will exult over you with singing."  (Zephaniah 3:17)
