I wonder if God has a mirror? Can he see himself? If he is everything, he cannot step away from himself to see himself. He would have to somehow create a mirror inside of himself, that part of his being that could reflect his essence and light. So, he created a different sort of mirror. Life.
We are God’s mirror. He sees himself through us. We are his reflection. That is why he made us in his image. We are creating and reflecting the light of God back to him so he can see himself. God is everything, so everything we do is a reflection of God.
Imagine what the world will be when we realize it. How can the sad state of humanity today be compared to God Almighty? How can we truly be a reflection of His magnificence? We are only seeing an instant, not the full image. We look in a mirror, and instantly see a reflection. If we took a photo every year, at the end of our life we would have a little movie showing how we grow up, and aged, and we could watch it all at once. There is no time for God, so even if we take another 2000 years to finally reflect God’s true beauty… He still sees it all in one motion. He sees it all now. The beginning and the end of it all.
So don’t worry about what we looked like yesterday or even today as God’s reflection. It’s tomorrow’s reflection we are striving for, and what a beautiful sight it will be.
