Seeing Yourself in the Light

Sometimes I look in a mirror and have an orange hue. At other times, I see every pore, wrinkle and age spot magnified 10X. At still other times, I look as good as I’m ever going to look. The difference? The light. Different kinds of light literally change how you look in a mirror. The same thing is true in real life. And it’s why you need to see yourself through the light of Jesus’ love. When you do, you’ll see how beautiful you are even with all of your quirks, miscues and mistakes. How strong you are in the face of all you have struggled through. How Christ-like you are becoming as Jesus lives in you more and more. And it shouldn’t come as any surprise. After all, Jesus is the light of the world.
