Looking at Ourselves Through God's Mirror (2.11.14)

My Child,

Each day you look in your mirror to see how you look.
Often times you don’t notice the beauty that I’ve imparted into your life. 

You see only the negative things about yourself; the wrinkles, 

dark circles, blemishes and imperfections.

You don’t take the time to see the joy, beauty or the marvelous workmanship 

that I so lovingly poured into you.

Well, I too have a mirror and I want you to look into My mirror. 

My mirror won’t show you what’s on the outside. 

You see, man looks on the outward appearance, 

but what I want you to see is on the inside - your beautiful spirit. 

My mirror doesn’t show you the negative things, 

but rather the positive things. 

My child, I always look at the positive things in you, 

and I see things that you often do not see. 

I see things that are positive and good and throughout your day

and I send reminders to you to keep your spirit lifted.

My child, I want you to see yourself as I see you. 

I want you to see the beauty that’s inside of you, 

the beauty that you may not realize is there. 

I want you to see the potential and the possibilities that you carry inside of you, 

so that you can reach out to others. 

What I have imparted in you was meant to be a blessing not only to you, 

but to all those around you. 

When you love and care for others, 

I will bless you far more than you ever dreamed of.

So, now do you see the importance of looking in My mirror? 

Come, and let Me reveal all the beauty that you’ve kept hidden; 

so that then you will be able to go out and use that beauty to be a blessing to My Kingdom. 

Soon you will no longer focus on the negative, or your problems, 

for you will live a life of joy and favor as your eyes are fully opened 

to the beautiful things I have put into your life, says the Lord.
