You've Never Seen Your Face
Seriously. You have never even seen your own face. Sure, you may have seen pictures of yourself. And you can certainly see your face in a mirror. But the truth is that you have never actually seen your face. You have to learn to trust that reflection you see in the mirror. That's who you are in the physical.
You know something else? You have never seen your spirit! So how do you know what your spirit looks like? By looking into the spiritual mirror. The perfect law of liberty!
James 1:23-25
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
God's Word is an exact replica of who you are in the Spirit. You have to look into the Word and trust that what you are seeing is a perfect reflection or a mirror-image of your born-again spirit. You are what God's Word says you are!
Jesus said:
It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. - John 6:63
God's Word is Spirit and it is Life!
So, who are you in the spirit today? Who are you in Christ?
Today I am just as pure and holy as the Lord Jesus. Today I am blessed beyond measure with every spiritual blessing. Today I am sanctified and made perfect forever! And if Jesus is truly the Lord of your life, so are you. How do I know?The spiritual mirror says so!
Praise God!

10:23 O Jehovah, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

The Irony is that my "spiritual face" is best early in the morning when my physical face is probably at its worst. Glad I don't have a mirror around but the spiritual mirror is doing wonders for my journey here in Uganda as a spiritual networker and Kingdom Citizen.
Hope to connect thru MyChurch with a heaping bunch of youse guyz! |

Whatever we are will be revealed, even though we have limited vision now. This is a very encouraging blog, Michael!!! It reminds me of I Cor. 13:12 13:12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood. |

Thanks for the great comments everyone!
Actually.....I am pretty glad that I have never seen my face! I have one of those distorted mirrors that makes everything appear better looking than it really is!
Thank God that the Word reflects His perfect image, eh? |

Just a thought: The human face is supposed to be one of the most difficult things for an artist to depict. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that we're made in God's image spiritually, and it's reflected in our face. God can't really be depicted in His entirety; He has too many facets. |

Thats an interesting thought Jen:
It reminded me of the following two verses:
As a face is reflected in water, so the heart reflects the real person.
And:
3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
