Check at your reflection in the water - Lent #25

Looking at your reflection in the water (on a calm day), or even in the mirror, can be very telling. We can notice things that may surprise us - more wrinkles, less hair, more grey hair, dark rings under the eyes, shining teeth, sparkling eyes, stubble, clean shaven - the list is endless.

However the real test is that sometimes our outward reflection can reveal the state of our heart. That is scary. Have you ever had someone come up to you and say, "what's wrong?" The question catches you by surprise, but you realise that people have seen beyond the facade.

"As water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects a man." - Proverbs 27:19

"Just as water mirrors your face,so your face mirrors your heart." - The Message

In the end, Jesus was able to tell what was happening in Judas' heart. Judas managed to cover it up for the rest of the disciples, but Jesus could see right through his mask.

This Holy Week I urge us all to take a deep look into our hearts - what is being reflected there? Are there some things that need some changing?
