Think of God as a two way mirror!

“Great is our Lord, and mighty in power;
His understanding is infinite.” Psalm 147:5

On my walk yesterday, God gave me the analogy of a two way mirror to explain why He is so important in your life.

The definition of a two-way mirror is a reciprocal mirror that is partially reflective and partially transparent. The perception of one-way transmission is achieved when one side of the mirror is brightly lit and the other side is dark.

When you look in a mirror you see a reflection of what you look like. You see a superficial view but God sees everything with His mirror. The Spirit of God creates a transparent view and His light illuminates the essence of your being.

This allows God to know you better than you know yourself. He understands the complexity of your personality including your genetic makeup, parental upbringing, life experiences, and all your emotions.

God desires to heal, strengthen, and restore you to Himself. He alone has the capability to create a new creature in Christ Jesus filled with the virtue of God. He baptizes you with water and the spirit and old things fade away and all things become new.

You and I cannot see ahead but God’s mirror is omniscient and He sees all of your future. He wants to lead you into paths of peace and protect you from harm. This is why you and I need to abide in the spiritual truth “The Lord is a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your pathway”. He sees what you cannot see!

You and I do not possess the mirror of God. However, God’s mirror is “reciprocal” and He will share it with you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

The living reality for a believer is “The Lord is my light and my salvation”. He is the path to an abundant life!

Thought for the day:

“I see all things. I knew you before you were born and My purposes for you are infinite. Come to Me and I will transform you into the likeness of My image. My ways are perfect.”
