When we adorn ourselves each day with our best finery to suit the occasion, we stand in front of a glass sheet and ask a question;
Self: “How do I look?”
Self: “Damn sexy!!:-)”
We walk away and come back after a few minutes and ask another question;
Self: “How will everyone think I look?”
Self: “Maybe I should change these earrings, they look too gaudy for this outfit, or maybe this shade of red lipstick makes me look like a tart, or these dress is a little too short…..”
…………the list grows, the longer we look!!!
A mirror has two faces; a reflection of your physical appearance and a reflection of your heart’s condition. We walk around daily with the mirror’s reflection of our insecurities introduced by a mother, a father, a brother, sister, friend and unfortunately most times, a lover! I’ve had two very special men in my life; one said I wasn’t the fairest amongst all and the other said I was as beautiful as I thought I was.
“As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is” (Proverbs 23:7)……thank God I finally believe neither because they are flesh and as such not infallible! But the one who was as close in definition as the Master remains in my heart forever! Selah! (;);))
