When my human eyes look into the mirror I see a crooked smile, age spots, and a stomach that sticks out a tad bit too much.

I bet you think I’m crazy. I bet you don’t see that when you look at me. You know how I know? Because the outward imperfections that you see when you look at yourself in the mirror – I don’t see those either.

We’re too hard on ourselves, ladies. The imperfections, the flaws, the crooked smiles – no one else sees that. That’s in your head. It’s an illusion created by satan himself to make you feel less than.

When I look at you I see beauty. I see kindness. I see a bad to the bone woman that is killin’ it for her family every single day. I see one of God’s girls.

The next time you look in the mirror don’t focus on what you think you see – focus on what you know God sees.

He made you beautiful, girl.

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10
