mirrors don't only hang on walls

the mirror disfigures even further as the corrosive sand threatens to scratch away whatever's left of it's reflectivity. yet another massive wave of wind swipes pass, and this time the unassuming rocks nearby gets caught in the game. yet another auccuser, yet another victim. awful scratches now makes the mirror scramble to find a safe position where it's usefulness would not be hidden beneath ugly remnants of broken glass. no, it mustn't let it's beauty be brought under by the natural forces of this world.

her purpose must remain.
reflections must still be brought forth or nobody would see their true colours;
ugly, filthy rags they all are.
but, she couldnt do this anymore- she was now not a full complete mirror but merely shards of glass, or could she?

she meets a shipwrecked man not long after. a dying soul, a dying body. hunger slapped it's mould over his emaciated body, and thirst was labelled all over his chapped lips. a shiny object caused him to hope, and his gaunt body sprang to recieve what the mirror had to offer.

the already broken, tainted piece of glass he saw as a beautiful object. he needs to be saved.

the sun stood incandescent in sky, it's intensity stealing the attention of the man. hope was waiting.

the position of the mirror came face to face with the glory of the sun and before she knew it, fire consumed her. she knew there and then that this, was what she was called for. even though she was broken, shattered & of no value, even though she couldnt be used to reflect for the knowledge of exteriors, she managed to change an interior just by glancing at the sun in submittance.

two outcomes resulted: 1) the saving of a man 2) she, consumed by fire.

we may seem broken, tainted, with our insides crumbling & hope fading. but keep your hopes up. God uses more so the broken if submittance is evident. and if we are constantly looking His way daily, He'll consume us afresh & anew everyday.

so be a mirror today! If the lost see the reflection of Christ in you , they will recognise hope, and that is when you'll point them to Christ, and bring them to safety!!
