mirror mirror

I had a dream and in that dream I did not want to see however, it was not for me to decide.
So in my dream I saw a mirror and in that mirror I saw something horrible.
In the mirror I could see a prostitute bathing.  On the prostitute I saw where tattoos.
No matter how much the prostitute scrubbed the tattoos would remain.
When I looked at the writings I could see the following words: pride, lust, self worship, pity, protection, self worth, etc.  I did not understand what I was seeing.  I then began to take a closer look and the prostitute that was bathing was me!  I was confused and did not understand what could this mean?  With help from God I have been able to figure out what this meant.
There are times we try to wash away are own sins and fail to see what God sees.
If we continue to bath in our sins nothing can be washed away and we remain unclean.
If we wish to be clean we must allow God to wash away our sins and stop trying on our own.
In our own eyes we see ourselves as clean but, in God's eye's we see we are unclean and needing of a deep cleansing of our souls.
