Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Can you see inside at all? That was part of a song we once sang in one of our Christmas programs back in the day. It's a pretty true statement. A mirror can't see anything of what is going on on the inside. Yet, especially as girls, we spend so much time looking in the mirror tining our reflection will have changed within the last 5 minutes or thinking we might have grown prettier in the last 10 minutes or whatever. While our mirrorz show us what we look like on the outside, it can never reveal what we look like on the inside, in the heart. Sometimes though, our appearance reflects the attitude of the heart. Or our appearance is merely a cover-up, a mask to try and disguise the attitudes we want to hide. Then there's the famous line from "Snow White" ' Mirror Mirror on the wall who's the fairest of them all?' I mean while it's made as a joke or something of the sort(the right word escapes me...) it is pretty conceited. I mean a mirror isn't going to scan all the females in the world and say "Too bad, this girl in Kenya, is the prettiest one today." (No offense to anybody in Kenya.) Beauty is different for everybody. A mirror isn't going to tell you that you're beautiful. Look to Jesus. Get to know Him. Real beauty can't be measured by the day to day styles that change about as often as I change my socks. Real beauty is seen from within. So for all the people reading this, you are beautiful, special, and unique. If God had wanted us all the same He would have made us all the same. Jesus loves you!

1 Peter 3:3-4
Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewellry and fine clothing. Instead it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit which is of great worth in God's sight.
