Mirror Mirror on the Wall"...we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." (Romans 8:37) We just can't help it everyday at some point we look in the mirror. To some it is an exercise in self-esteem: we see ourselves and say, "wow, I have a face that others could love!"

The real question, though, is not what we see when we look at our reflection in the "world mirror" Rather the true issue is what God sees when He looks at us - and that is a whole different story! The Bible tells us several truths about what He sees when He looks at us, because He is using the God Mirror so let's take a look

Just like David, you have been personally designed by God as a customized creation. From the color of your eyes to your thumbprint to
