Whose mirror are you looking into?
Many
people measure themselves through the eyes of others’ opinion. Some people’s lives are literally consumed with the way people think about them. It is dangerous to allow another person to become your mirror in life. Sometimes they are your leaders, managers, parents, friends, or teachers. What if their opinion of you is not desirable. Will you allow mere man to define who you are, when they only see fragments of your life?
Take time to define or possibly refine your life through the eyes of God’s word. You are worth more than someone’s opinion of you. Seek your Creator. He knows your name, “Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered (Luke 12:7).” If he knows the very minute details of your life, surely he knows how to lead you into discovering your best life.
Bask in the presence of a God who knows you well, flaws and all, but love you anyway. Understand this, Man can and sometimes will disappoint, but God always appointed . He takes our set back and makes them setups, he takes the bitter of our lives and makes them sweet. Which mirror are you looking into today? How about this one, Psalm (139:14) “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made…” Jeremiah (29:11). “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you not harm you, plans to give hope and a future.”
My prayer for us today is that we will see ourselves through the eyes of God.
Be blessed and walk in God confidence.
