The Mirror

The mirror is always there to reflect right back to you who you are and what needs to be changed, embraced, discarded, and picked up along the side of life's road. The mirror will not lie. It will show you truths. It will scare you with its brutal honesty if you are not ready to take a serious inventory and move towards change. The mirror is God's Holy Spirit and it is ever ready to lead and guide us but He is a gentle guide and one must invite the appraisal of self. Do you judge others rather than yourself. I do. I think the more we are in need of change ourselves the more we focus on what is wrong with our brothers and sisters. It allows a man to take his eyes away from the mirror. You cannot look into another man's mirror or see his motives or know his heart, You may only see into your own soul and that is only if you want to look inward and move towards change. Change will be your only option if you wish to see the bare open face of your character. Character is grown through life's victories, defeats, challenges and storms. It will take you all the way home if you can keep your eye in the mirror of your own self and not deflect. Dogs have taught me more about character than myself or any man. They are...as they stand before you bare of any facade. They love for love. They care when the caring should be gone. They are in the moment. They will never leave you or forsake you. Man wavers with the wind. Take a good hard look at your pets and they will teach you more than any book or seminar for self improvement. I asked God to place the mirror in my face and He did. I find there is much work to be the woman I want to be, that God want me to be, that my dogs think I am, and I will stand in the mirror and face myself. God will bring the change as I just stand and submit to his palette and brush. Let the mirror bring us all to a place of inner beauty, kindness, and peace. Melly
