Take A Look In The Mirror, by Jerome Stewart 
There are great words of comfort and peace throughout the bible able to edify the hearers of them. Psalm 18 vs. 30 says; “As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.” God sent us Jesus!
For those who know Jesus as Lord and Savior there is an understanding of the meaning of the words in Titus 2 vss. 11 thru 14 which says; “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age, looking for the blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous of good works.”
Many of us are concerned about the world we live in. The words attributed to Lily Tomlin comes to mind, which says; “I always wondered why somebody didn’t do something about that. Then I realized I was somebody.” The person that can make a difference is the person in the mirror. And then there are great words of wisdom from the poetess Maya Angelou who says; “Now that I know better, I do better.”
We do not have to be a contributor to the evil ways of mankind. We can be the one who speaks kindly. Think about what this world would be if mankind became practitioners of the words of the Apostle Paul to the brethren in Philippians 2 vss. 3 and 4 which says; “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interest of others.”
Jesus said to His disciples in John 13 vs. 34; “A new commandment I give you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.” It is humane for us to have compassion, empathy and care for one another. It’s in our best interest to love one another because the Lord said so.
Tens of millions of people have listened to a powerful socially conscious message by the late pop singer Michael Jackson on youtube titled; “Man In The Mirror,” which covers a multitude of the wayward behavior of mankind. Check it out. The images are educational.
For those who do not understand the power of love, much guidance can be found in the word of God. The book of Jude is only one chapter yet very powerful in the things said. For those who know Jesus as Lord and Savior be reminded of the meaning of the words in vs. 21 which says; “keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
