Mirror of the Image

Shahram Sedehi

The mirror is not the image, but its reflector.

We were made "in God's image", and not to be the reflector of God's image or anyone else's!

When we beg...

1. What would you do, if you were me?

2. I don't want to make a decision, until I have to.

3. I did not really want to do that, I just had to do it!

4. I did it because I was told by someone that's the principled way to act!

5. I forced her to made that decision, so our family wont be embarrassed!

6. I could not bear the way you looked at me with so much shame, so I just did what you wanted me to do!

7. Don't force me into that decision, or I will hate you!

Does these words sound familiar? This is the way we act as mirror of other's "image" and not in the image of God.

However, we could live a life when we always have the answer, living in God's image

When we answer...

1. I am not you, so I can't make your decision for you.

2. I make the decision because I can.

3. Even though it all turned out wrong, I admit, that was my decision, not anyone else's.

4. I did it, because my conscience was convicted, as I was studying the principle.

5. Even though her decision embarrassed our family, I never lost faith in her.

6. I made a decision that I regret and feel shameful about.

7. Even though you disagreed with my decision, I hold no grudge against you.
