John 14:27

The soul is a mirror. To reflect Grace, you need both the love of God and to see your own reflection in someone who perfectly embodies it. And If you want to help someone whose perception is defined by a "tit-for-tat" relationship, you will need both. Fear that you might start to reflect on their brokenness and lose yourself in the process. Many people become this broken mirror due to difficult circumstances or bad actors. But once those negative influences are gone, are they still willing? Are they committed to seeing themselves through Grace again?

Now that the spiritual war is won, the world needs healing. People must come to Christ, for you are currently seeking your own reflection in a broken mirror.
