mirror are glass and on the back they are silver; something to reflect
light. We all know what a mirror does. It reflects what is in front
of it. If I look in a mirror I see me. Here’s a great a simple truth.
Mirrors don’t lie. There might be a trick mirror in the Fun House,

Understand this concept, please, because it’s the process of being
like Jesus. When you look into the word of God, it’s really you and
you are in front of the mirror but it’s God’s mirror. I look in the
