They’ve remade Snow White into a full length feature film.
It’s just a little different from the original animated movie of the 30’s. The
phrase, “Mirror, mirror on the wall…” comes to mind as the story revolves around
the issues with Snow White's vain and wicked stepmother, the Queen, who feared
that one day Snow White's beauty would surpass her own. Each day, the Queen
consulted her magic mirror asking, "Magic Mirror on the wall, who is the
fairest one of all?" As long as the Mirror answered, "You are the
fairest one of all", Snow White was safe from her stepmother's cruel
jealousy. Every day the spirit says that the Queen is the fairest, and she is
content, until the mirror informs her that Snow White has finally become the
fairest in the land. Then the trouble really begins as the wicked hearted Queen
begins to formulate plans for Snow White’s demise. The Queen is hard hearted, jealous and
self-centered.
It is in the looking to ourselves
for our worth that we find trouble. Just as the Queen consulted the mirror on
the wall for her needs, we too may look in the mirror to see if we’re good
enough, the best, most important. If we don’t deal with those issues, we may
become obsessed with ourselves, absorbed with our own positions, and begin to
see others as a rivalry. The only way to
deal with jealousy and selfish ambition is to look into the mirror of God’s
Word as hear Him say “I AM the fairest of them all”.
Oh beloved, what do you see in
the mirror? Your shortcomings, your problems, your ambitions? Maybe there’s one who has given your heart
such problems and you just want to walk away. Look again! See the mirror of His
Word as He speaks life into your heart. He says to you this morning Look to Me
for your worth! Look into the Mirror of my Word and see it’s all about My love
for you and My plans for your life. You
are unique and no other can take your place, but all are welcome at My Table.
Walk closely with Me and learn My ways so that you can begin to reflect Me not
only in the mirror but in your life. Trust Me to work out issues in your
life. I love you more than you can
imagine and I have a marvelous plan for you!
Just as Snow White triumphed in
her innate goodness, so too we, who live according to His Word and for His
glory will walk in triumph! God bless you as you seek to reflect Him Alone!

already God’s children, but He has not yet shown us what we will be like when
Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like Him, for we will see Him as
He really is.

who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And
the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like Him as we are changed
into His glorious image.

from Him and exists by His power and is intended for His glory. All glory to Him
forever!

would consistently reflect Your decrees!
