Self-reflection is a looming epidemic in the world; the focus is taken from Christ onto oneself. Looking at yourself to know who you are as a person never achieves the goal intended. How can we look at a created thing without looking at the creator for the answers?
“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.” 2 Corinthians 3:18
As we seek God, He shows us who He intends us to be.
