The Word of God is like a mirror. It shows us what we are; it gives a true account of us, not as we would like, but as God sees us. An African queen once looked into a mirror for the first time. She became angry and smashed the mirror because it did not make her look pretty. Better believe God’s mirror, no matter how ugly it makes you. Sin makes us black in the eyes of God, but when we come to Jesus, His precious blood cleanses us from all sin, washes us whiter than snow, and we are pure and holy in God’s sight.
My heart was black with sin,
Until the Savior came in.
His precious blood, I know,
Has washed me white as snow.
In His word, I see
He gave Himself for me.
Oh wonderful, wonderful love
I’ll dwell with Him above.
