Beware of seeing yourself through other people’s eyes. There are several dangers to this practice. First of all, it is nearly impossible to discern what others actually think of you. Moreover, their views of you are variable: subject to each viewer’s spiritual, emotional, and physical condition. The major problem with letting others define you is that it borders on idolatry. Your concern to please others dampens your desire to please Me, your Creator.
It is much more real to see yourself through My eyes. My
gaze upon you is steady and sure, untainted by sin. Through My eyes you can see
yourself as one who is deeply, eternally loved. Rest in My loving gaze, and you
will receive deep Peace. Respond to My loving Presence by worshiping Me in spirit and in truth.
Hebrews 11:6; John 4:23-24
