Let’s visualize for a moment each of us are standing in front of a mirror. Since we are made in His image, God is holding each mirror. When we sin it’s like streaks on a mirror. You know the ones – they are stubborn, you can’t quite see any clear image because they are in the way. They take a little more work to wipe away. You may think it’s gone but then you look from a different angle and see the same imperfection or a new one comes seemingly from nowhere.
