I realized something simple yet profound: we can never truly see our own face.
We can study our hands, our feet, our whole body—but without a mirror, our face remains unseen. That truth led me to think about how God sees us. We were created in His image, designed to reflect His nature, His love, and His glory. Yet sin distorted that image. The reflection became blurred.
James 1:21-27 reminds us that God’s Word is the mirror of our souls. It reveals what’s out of alignment and invites us to obey, not just observe. When we walk away unchanged, we forget who we are in Him. Every time we surrender, forgive, or walk in obedience, The Holy Spirit polishes the mirror of our hearts until the Father’s reflection shines through.
Reflection Prompt
When God looks at you, what does He see?
Are you a clear reflection—or has life’s dust, distraction, or disobedience blurred His image?
Could you take a moment to sit with His Word today?
Could you let Him show you where the reflection needs restoring?
Affirmation
I hear God’s Word and turn to Him.
I turn away from sin.
Holy Spirit, polish the mirror of my heart.
So the Father sees Himself clearly in me.
Prayer
Lord, thank You for being the image I was created to reflect.
Forgive me for the times I’ve distorted who You are through disobedience or distraction.
Realign my heart to Your Spirit—
and help me live as a clear reflection of Your truth, Your love, and Your light.
When You look at me, Father, let You see You.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
