Having teenagers in the house is pretty fun. I mean it is interesting to see how they look at themselves in the mirror. I had almost forgotten that feeling, till I started noticing my two oldest sons becoming more and more aware of their appearance.
You know, a teenage boy never misses a chance to flex in a mirror and a teenage girls never passes up an opportunity to flip her hair as she passes by her reflection looking back at her. Of course, they do this undercover unless they don’t think anyone is watching then you get to see what is really going on in their minds.
It is fun to watch and to remember just how much each generation repeats itself.
Looking in the mirror can actually reveal a lot about the depths of a person especially when a person thinks no one is watching. I wonder if we were to look at our faith today as though we were looking into a mirror, what would we see?
And even more so, if we looked intently into the mirror of our faith knowing no one else was watching what how strong, how beautiful, how lovely, how powerful would our faith be reflected?
Ephesians 1:15-23
I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, and for this reason I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers. I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him, so that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance among the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power for us who believe, according to the working of his great power.
Jesus is Christ the King. He is the one who was and is to come and when he comes again in great Triumph may he find in us a mansion prepared for himself. (Collect 4 Advent). Amen.
