When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Do you see someone fearfully and wonderfully made? Do you see someone that is beautiful in the eyes of God? Sadly, our culture has conditioned us to view our reflection in terms of just our physical appearance. But this tells us little. If we were made in the image of God, we should think less of looking like the model in the magazine and more of reflecting God to others. Next time you look in the mirror, instead of asking "who do I look like"? Ask, "how will I reflect God to others today?" That beauty comes from the heart and the spirit, not clear skin and shiny hair.
