You are made in the image of God. Hard to believe?You know what it's like to look in the mirror and groan at what you see. Sometimes, the longer u look, the worse it gets! It doesnt help much when your parents tell you that you're just going through a phase, that even the best-looking kids in school think they're ugly or dorky or homely. You see every one of your flaws as clearly as if a huge neon arrow was pointing right at them.
In a way, mirrors distort your true images, especially when you've trained your eyes to see flaws that aren't even there. It's almost as if you're looking into the way mirrors in a funhouse - they pull your body this way and that, squish you features, and turn you into a hideous alien from some remote planet. What you need to do is train you eyes to focus on the incredibly wonderful work of God that's staring back at you.
What you think are flaws are often features that simply differ from those of the celebrities you see on television and movie screens and billboards and magazine covers. Are those images typical of reality? No. All you have to do is look around you for one day to realise how few people fit that ideal image. Not everyone can - or, believe it, wants to - look like Mandy Moore or Josh Harnett. That's a good thing. Think how monotonous or confusing life would be otherwise,.
It's the truth: You are made in the image of God, and he has a never ending supply of features to draw from. He designed every individual in a unique way, right down to the tiniest detail. You can either get mad at God for that, or you can be grateful to him for caring so much about the way you turned out.Who else has paid you that much attention?Even if anyone else wanted to, no one else could.
In fact, God seems to enjoy lavishing his attention on those who seldom get any.By today's standards jeremiah wad just a kid when God singled him out to be his spokeman. when Jeremiah objected and pointed out all his flaws , Gdo basically told him to chill. David seems to have been the runt of his family's litter, and he ended up a king. And one Old testament reference to the Messiah even implies that he - Jesus, that is, wasn't much to look at.
Instead of obsessing over your image in the mirror, try mirroring the image of Jesus, the one that reflects His Character, How would you look if you were compassionate toward others and if you went out of your wayto help your Parents, showed kindness to your siblings, and treated everyone equally- even the misfits at your school? You'd start to feel pretty good about yourself , and the way you feel about yourself on the inside always shows up on your face.
