Sometimes the task of facing our inner “fears and inadequacies” causes us to delay looking into our spiritual mirror. We probably do this because we fear the reflection that will stare back at us. We do not want the reality of knowing that popular opinion, religious tolerance, or lack of self-control influenced us, thereby possibly influencing someone else. What is the remedy? Face yourself and look in the mirror, anyway! Ignoring that we have issues that need to be dealt with does not excuse the problems we must face.
Our blessed Savior is the prime example of how to look a problem right between the eyes and deal with it. Jesus knew His end and the excruciating torment he was about to go through. Yet with determined vigor and an unwavering devotion to His Heavenly Father, Jesus stood before His mirror. So, don’t ignore what is staring back at you, for the mirror of the soul casts eternal reflections.
