Gone are the days of trying to measure up. Gone are the days of comparison. Too often we look at our own selves with such a critical eye. God says, “No more. Stop judging yourself through your own filters, but instead see yourself through My eyes. I see you beautiful. I see you worthy. I see you magnificent. Now choose to see yourself as I see you. See yourself through the eyes of truth.”
I’m sure that every human being on the planet has judged themselves critically at times. We tend to see our faults looming so large over our lives. Yes, we’ve all made mistakes. We make mistakes but our mistakes don’t make us. Don’t play your mistakes over in your mind. That’s what makes them seem so huge. Instead, acknowledge your mistakes and move on. Don’t make them bigger than they are. Choose to focus on the positive things in your life. Choose to focus on the times you’ve chosen to be a blessing to someone else, to give an encouraging word or lend a helping hand. When you focus on life, you’ll pass life on to those around you. You are a giver of life. Choose to see yourself that way and you’ll find yourself giving life.
