The Mirror
The mirror is large. Tall. Rounded at the top. Full bodied. Able to display reality and Truth to all those who cast there eye upon it. A beacon of Truth. Never to tell a lie. When looked upon; the image is always reality. It was clean. Shiny. Beautiful. Now; it is covered. In fact, it is no longer visible. It is disgusting. Filthy. From the center is a gaping hole that oozes a dark-green, verminous, putrid slime. Around the slime is raw, black filth seeping around the center to the floor. All around it is the smell of foul sewage. All those who come around it notice the disgusting quality of it. Some sooner. Some later. All at one time or another.
I am The Mirror.
Oh! That the Christ Himself would walk by, and; with an outstreched hand, absterge the mirror.

Oh... Pretty much the same stuff as last time. Oh, hey, can we just kill the cat and get it over with?
I have a few ideas on how to eradicate it...

No killing cats! Cats are special. But it wouldn't matter how many times you try to kill me. I always keep coming back.. there are those who have already tried. and failed.

absterge the mirror--already done II Corinthians 5:21 makes that clear. now, all we have to do it I John 1:9a and He will more than do the rest (I John 1:9b)
I love this word picture (grotesque though it be) because that's what we are and that's often how we feel. But feelings are just feelings, and the Truth is reflected in how we handle those feelings--will we try to bear our own guilt or will we take our mirrors to Christ who already knows and has carried all the filth that is on them?
