Mirror

I was thinking this week about Mirrors. When I worked in the podiatry office, we would get diabetic patients in our office quite often in which would come for just a check up and find out by the doctor that they had a wound on the bottom of their foot. Every once in a while I would hear, "Emily get the mirror" from the doctor and I would get the large mirror for her to show them the wound on the bottom of their foot. Most diabetic patients have no feeling in their feet at all and do not even know when they have stepped on glass, nails, tacks and other sharp objects. We had a patient with a nail in their shoe who was walking around for quite a while with it sticking in his foot every time he put his shoes on. Because they cannot see the bottom of their feet they usually do not believe they have the wound at all. The doctor has to get the mirror to show them the bottom of their feet. Once they see the gaping wound, they really do not have anything else to say but, "You're Right".

Ever ask God to show you any areas that you need to work on? I am scared sometimes to ask that question as in my mind I feel I cannot see those issues at this time, so they probably do not exist, right? Then he gets his big mirror out and shows me what I cannot see in myself or refuse to believe about myself and all I can say is, "Your Right."

Psalm 51:5-7

"Surely I was sinful at birth,

sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
Surely you desire truth in the inner parts ;

you teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;

wash me, and I will be whiter than snow."
