Who's the fairest of them all?
Me of course lol
Hello readers!😀 I am Ogundipe Jesunifemi, CEO purplenigma97.blogspot.com and I am here to inspire you.
When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Do you see a reflection of past failures and errors or you see a beacon of hope for tomorrow's future?
When you look in the mirror, who do you see? Do you see a weakling and a step-over or you see a survivor and a conqueror?
Let me ask you this, what's your perception of yourself? when you think of you, what comes to mind? How do you see yourself through your mind's eye? Pause for few seconds, close your eyes and reflect on these questions. If what you saw made you smile then congratulations, you're on the right path but if what you saw made you sad or scared, then you should pay more attention to the next paragraphs.
The Bible records in Luke 11 : 34 :Your eye is the lamp(light) of your body; when your eye is sound and fulfilling its office, your whole body is full of light; but when it is not sound and is not fulfilling its office, your body is full of darkness.
The eyes are the window of the soul so be careful what you see because what you see is what you believe and what you believe is what you become.
You cannot constantly see yourself as a failure and expect to be successful or as a mediocre and expect excellence.You cannot continuous doubt yourself and your abilities and expect to go far in life. I was listening to Bill Winston the other day and he said something that hit me, "WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT GOD DELIVERS". If you see a blessing, God delivers a blessing but if all you see is doubt then don't expect any blessing. If your expectations are little then your outcome cannot be far from little. What you see is what you get.
I ask again :
What do you see in yourself or rather, how do you see yourself?
What are the things you look at that makes you belittle yourself?
Which mirrors have you been looking at that have been given you a bounce back of wrong reflections?
Perhaps, it's high time you stopped looking at mirrors made with glass and wood and you start looking at The Mirror made of flesh and blood , the mirror of God's word -The Bible.
The Bible is the truest mirror you can ever look into. It is not deceptive like some mirrors that make you look fatter or slimmer. It shows you just the way you are. When you look at the mirror of the Bible, you not only see your true reflection, but also, you see yourself the way God sees you. Your true identity is revealed. Your perception of yourself is renewed automatically, the eyes of your understanding are enlightened and you become so full of light.
In the mirror of God's word, you will always be the fairest of them all because in God's sight, you are the most precious thing He's ever created.
Are you ready to start looking at the right mirror, then get a Bible and start studying day by day. Care to share with us a few experiences of how you've been looking at the wrong mirror? Kindly leave your comments below. God bless and thanks for reading!
