What reflection do you see in the mirror?

Good morning everyone!!! What a wonderful day in the Lord Jesus Christ. Do you get tired of praise songs? Do you get tired of reading or studying your Bible? Have you looked in a mirror lately? God is good all the time.......all the time God is good!!!
Okay, there were some people from the back woods of a third world country who barely experienced civilization. One day the man went to the city in a nearby country. While he was there he went into a shop and was looking around. Suddenly he came upon a mirror, something he had never seen before. He had never seen his reflection. As he gazed in the mirror he saw his father. This made him happy.....very happy. Each time he looked in the mirror he saw his father.
When he returned home he took the mirror to a pub nearby. After he would get off work he would go to the pub just to gaze in the mirror and "see his father." His wife wondered what he was doing as this was not his common practice. So......she went down to the pub and asked the innkeeper what her husband did there each night. He told her he just came in and looked at the thing he brought back from the city and placed on the wall. Each time he gazed into it he would smile.
The wife went over, looked into the mirror, and, having never seen her own reflection blurted out, "So, this is the old hag he has been coming to see." What reflection do you see in the mirror? One of your "Father in Heaven" or one of a distorted view?
James 1:23-24 "For if you listen to the word and don't obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror, you see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like."
Then James 1:25 says, "But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what is says and don't forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it." Do you forget? What is your reflection to the world? One of Christ, or one of the world? Thank you for reading. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
Johnny
