How do you see yourself?
Do you see yourself as God sees you?
Or do you see yourself through a distorted mirror like I did in this one?
I’m learning the best way to live my life is to continue to gaze into God’s mirror–His Word. As I allow His Word to become my mirror, I see clearer. My confidence grows. Not because of what I physically look like, but because I really believe and respond according to what God sees. Not what I see. Not what the world sees.
For me, it’s called walking in victory and freedom!
My prayer is that all people start believing who God says they are. Loved. Chosen. Forgiven. Accepted. Redeemed. And so much more!
PS God’s windex comes in handy. I often find residue splattered on my mirror that doesn’t belong. It’s a daily or even minute by minute job to keep it clean!
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. James 1:22-2(NIV).
What a great post! I love the idea of needing windex from time to time. Lets clean off the small smudges before the become so big that the whole mirror is messy!
Be blessed today,
Sonya
Great devotion and word for the day, thanks!
Those old distortions do come back from time to time…
Thank you for reminding me to look through His word for who I am!
Amen and amen!
That is good! I too pray for everyone to see themselves as God sees them, what a difference that would make in our individual lives and in our world…
You are inspiring me to rest more in God… I want to hear His voice more clearly…
Blessings!
I’m deeply touched by this. Thanks for sharing your heart.
I love who I am seeing myself to be… I am so thankful that Papa God is refocusing my vision, taking away those distortions and allowing me to see what He sees in me.
Loved the post.
You’ve written alot since I’ve been here… Life’s been crazy busy and I haven’t been blog visiting much these past few days.
I’m glad I got to catch up on yours tonight.
Hugs,
Julie
Tiffany – so beautifully and powerfully portrayed and written. Thank you.
Tiffany,
When I look in the mirror the distortion can overcome me. When I look at the Word, I am at peace.
Thank you for the reminder, my sweet, precious friend.
Hugs to you today!
Oh, this was GREAT Tiffany. Sorry I have not been by. Just getting caught up.
God is doing a major work in my daughter in law’s life and it just what you wrote about.
Seeing us as God see us.
Blessings my sweet friend.
The king is enthralled by your beauty; honor him, for he is your lord. Psalm 45:11
This is not the first thing I’ve read about this subject. I think many struggle with it. I pray that I see myself as Christ sees me. Thank you Tiffany.
On a side note: The mailer thing you use for your blog is a bit behind the times however. I just this morning got the mailer for several of your posts, therefore making me miss them. I don’t know that I’ll be able to catch up. No matter, I still enjoy your blog.
