To see our reflection we need a mirror and another basic component – light. If we stand in front of a mirror in complete darkness we won’t see our reflection. In partial light our reflection is vague. If we want a true reflection of ourselves we need to place ourselves under full light. Alternatively, if we want to imagine we are film star material, we should stand in dim light, hide our flaws and show our best side.
In order to see a true reflection of our spiritual self we need a mirror and light. The mirror is the Word of God and the light is God Himself. We may have the mirror (Bible) and look into it every day, but unless we have a personal relationship with God and let Him light up all facets of our spiritual life, then we won’t see ourselves as we truly are (a mirror is no good in darkness). Without God’s light we can easily hide the flaws and emphasize only our best side. We may convince many people we are spiritual superstars, but God knows we are just another ugly Christian who refuses to step into the light.
