What is your true face?

One of my favorite Farsi songs translates as follows: 

“The stranger who has become a pain in your life is you, yourself! Sometimes the mirror lies, the face you see is not your true face.”

Do you ever look at yourself in the mirror and wonder if the face you see is your true face? Are you really the person, you pretend to be, or are you someone else? Do you ever wonder maybe the reason you are in trouble, is because of you, yourself? Do you ever wonder if you are judging other based on your own actions and in reality you are the one who needs to be judged? 

Luke 6:42

 How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

What if you try something new? What if you looked at yourself in the mirror every morning and said to yourself: “I am not going to wear a random mask to cover my true self today, but instead, I want Jesus to be seen in me, I want to wear His loving face”?

I promise you that your life would be transformed.
