How often do you look in a mirror? If you're a girl, it's probably a lot. If you're a guy, maybe you don't as much, but you probably still do every once in a while. Today, we are going to try a different challenge. I want you to forget. Forget about all those little things on your body you pick at. Don't look at them, or focus on them in the mirror. If you have to look in the mirror, don't lean in and study yourself. Look at yourself from a distance, and notice the good qualities about yourself. Notice the color of your eyes, the pink in your cheeks, your smile, your freckles, or dimples, or whatever it is that makes you, you. Take a moment, and look at your wounds, are they healing yet? How do you feel about that? If you find yourself criticizing yourself, or thinking negative things, walk away from the mirror. Just take yourself out of the room, away from the mirror. Go do something else. Do this whenever you're washing your hands, brushing your teeth, shaving, or checking your make-up. I think you'll find that it gets easier, and easier every time you do it. And each time, you'll probably see something you didn't see before. Each time you look in the mirror, you'll find something else beautiful about you.
"Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed." Psalm 34:5
Love the verse!
