Mirrors and Reflections of Light

Mirrors reflect light and the images within that light that is projecting onto it. It projects and exact reverse image of the light leaving the image or so it seems. The fact is that the image is not really reversed at all it is our perception of that image that is reversed, so the actual light reflected is the same as the one going into it, if the mirror is clean. A dirty mirror results in a poor distorted reflection. Relating this physical physics principle to our spiritual understanding of reflecting Christ in our lives, we may understand that as we behold His image, it is a reflected image of the Father and we in turn, must also reflect Christ's image. We must walk by faith in this life as we can only see His reflection dimly in others and ourselves, it will be an unimpeded image we see when we are face to face with Him when our work here is finished.
If we are mirrors of Christ, our main job should then be as a glass cleaner, keeping our mirror as clean as possible so that the light of God may shine through us and reflect upon others so they can see their way out of darkness and into that light. The Holy Scriptures contain the Windex, and the we hold the squeegee. The Holy Spirit will help show us the areas we missed, if we ask Him. I must warn you, it sometimes hurts when that layer comes off, but when you hear it squeeky clean, then you will know you have done a good job. Your mirror will then reflect as much light as possible.
