This was from my morning devotional, and I posted this a few days ago. Thought this again spoke so much on what we were talking about today! Love each one of you ladies and already so blessed by this group!! In my presence you have infinite approval. You often judge yourself on the basis of what you see in the mirror, even though you know how fickle and shallow that ever changing image is. You tend to be equally enslaved to viewing yourself through the eyes of other people, rigorously evaluating your personal performance and almost always feeling displeased with something youve said or done. Enslaved is an appropriate word. You are indeed a slave when you try to measure yourself through any perspective but mine. Evaluating your worth based on how you look, to yourself or to others, is always a trap. Its as if you are sifting sand and in search for gold-looking only at the grains of sand filtering through the sieve, while ignoring the priceless nuggets that remain. The gold represents the eternal part of you: your soul. It is invisible to everyone but me, the one who plans to spend eternity with you. Though invisible, a well nurtured soul can actually improve your appearance: as you rest in the certainty of my unfailing love, your face glows with the joy of my presence. My approval of you is infinite because it will continue forever. It is based entirely on My righteousness, which is yours for all eternity. When you look in a mirror, try to see yourself as you truly are-arrayed in perfect righteousness, adorned in glowing approval.
