Mirror
“You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit them together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! It is amazing to think about. Your workmanship is marvellous – and how well I know it.”
(Psalm 139:13-14 (Living Bible))
SONG:
Listen to the song “Made in the image of God”
CHILDREN’S SONG:

CHILDREN’S ACTIVITY:
Make an aluminium foil mirror
PRAYER:
“Heavenly Father, As I stand at the mirror, I ask for a new perspective. The world often tells me I am not enough, highlighting my flaws and imperfections. But Your Word reminds me that I am wonderfully made, a treasured creation in Your sight.
Lord, help me to see past the outward appearance and truly understand my worth as Your beloved child. Silence the voices of doubt and self-criticism. Replace them with the truth of Your love. Help me to see myself as You see me: complete, loved, and whole because You created me with purpose and grace.
May this reflection be a reminder of Your beautiful craftsmanship. Let me walk in confidence today, secure in my identity in You, and use the unique person You made me to bring light to the world. In Your loving name, I pray,
Amen.”
PAUSE FOR THOUGHT:
“There are two ways of spreading light; one is to be the candle, the other to be the mirror that reflects another’s candle.” (Edith Wharton) I wonder which we each consider ourselves to be.
FUN FACT:
The first type of a mirror was invented in ancient times. It was a small pool of water filled in a dark coloured container. Think of this concept as looking into a fountain as you walk by and see your reflection. Believe it or not, you’re using the world’s first version of a mirror — how exciting!
