Mirror

""Mirror, mirror on the wall ... lie to me!" Don't we sometimes wish?

Either fortunately or unfortunately, mirrors don't lie, unless, of course, the mirror is distorted. If so, its reflection will also be distorted. And if I am not true to my word and do what I say I am going to do, there is something distorted within me.

As the old saying goes, "Talk is cheap." Keeping one's word and promises is a character trait to be highly valued. It is being authentic and maintaining integrity. Unfortunately, it seems that keeping one's word for many anymore doesn't amount to too much. They rarely keep either word or promises.
Sadly, a person who doesn't keep his word or his promises can't be relied upon. Neither can he be trusted. "Don't fool yourselves. For if a person just listens and doesn't obey, is like looking at his face in a mirror; as soon as he walks away, he can't see himself anymore or remember what he looks like.

But if anyone keeps looking steadily into God's law they will not only remember it but will do what it says, and God will greatly bless him in everything he does." If we are mature, we will act in a mature fashion. If we are responsible, we will act in a responsible manner. And if we are sincere and genuine, we will act accordingly and be known as men and women whose word is their bond.

For after all – It's what we do - Not what we say
