God's mirror

I have to share another blog post with you today.  Please read this before you read the rest of what I'm writing today.

OK, you're back...

I came across this by accident(?).  And as I read it, in my mind's eye I saw me saying something similar to this earlier today.  It was more like, OK, God if you want me to do this then I want you to do that instead of just doing what was laid on my heart to do.

It wasn't a big deal and I didn't do anything wrong, but the if/then is just better left between me and Jesus.  But what I didn't see me doing was trying to manipulate God; as if I could.  I'm perfectly aware of my relationship to God.  I would be the created and He the creator.  I can't manipulate God.

Sometimes a mirror isn't a piece of glass with special paint that reflects an image back to you.  Sometimes God can use words to make us stop and take a good long look at what we see.  I didn't see it until I read it.

So my new thought is OK, God, I felt you laid something on my heart and I submitted.

And I expect nothing in return.

The nice thing about mirrors; they show you what you can't see yourself.  And just like brushing your hair, you can tidy up the things that are wrong before you walk out the door.
