Are You Looking in the Wrong Mirror?
JAN 07, 2024
Today’s Scripture
Genesis 1:27, NLT
So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
Today’s Word
It’s so important how we see ourselves. Your self-image will determine whether you reach your full potential. If you see yourself as lacking, at a disadvantage, or unattractive, it will limit you. It’s not that you don’t have great potential; it’s that your self-image is distorted. It’s as though you’ve walked into a room filled with mirrors at a carnival that distort your body all out of proportion, and you believe you actually look like what you are seeing. Of course, we know better than that, but how many of us don’t recognize when we’re looking at a distorted mirror in real life? We see ourselves as not talented, unqualified, and never good enough. That distorted image is holding us back.
You have been made in the image of God. He made you gifted, beautiful, smart, and confident. You are fully equipped for the purpose He’s laid out for you, but when you look in the distorted mirror, you see all your flaws, and everything you don’t like is exaggerated. It’s time to get rid of the wrong mirror.
Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for making me in Your image with gifts, talents, and abilities to enjoy life and accomplish Your will. Help me to love myself, with all my flaws and things I wish were different. I declare that I am getting rid of the wrong mirror and seeing myself as created in Your image. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
