Beauty Beyond the Mirror- Seeing Yourself Through God's Eyes

What if you could see yourself the way God sees you? What do you think He would say about you? Your body? Your legs and booty and arms and tummy. What do you think He sees when He sees you? 2 Corinthians 5:17 in the NIV says Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here! Did you know that when you repent and believe in the resurrection of Christ and ask Him into your heart that the Holy Spirit comes to live in you and at that moment God only sees Christ in you. How does that make you feel?Here are 3 ways we can shift our perspective today: 1- Write or repeat daily affirmations out loud- I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:14- I am a child of the Most High God. Remember our verse from earlier? 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here! What are some biblical affirmations you can recite every morning? 2- Spend less time looking in the mirror, remove them if you need to and stay off social or unfollow accounts that make you second guess who you are. Comparison is the thief of joy and joy is a fruit of the Spirit found only in those with a personal relationship with Christ. You are His. Your body is His. He dwells in the hearts and bodies of all believers. If Jesus was sitting on your couch would you call Him fat or ugly or stupid? Of course not. So when you speak or think that of yourself, you're essentially saying it about Him because when God sees you, He sees Christ. 3- Psalm 139:23-24- "Search me God and know my heart, test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is anything offensive in me and lead me in the way everlasting. This is a prayer for self-acceptance. Ask God to help you see yourself as He does and ask Him to help you love yourself as you should. He will provide. Start a gratitude journal for your body and thank her for all she does for you and has done. Proverbs 3:15-She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. She is you. Tuck that verse in your heart and let it be the anthem of your thoughts. If you'd like help in your own personal journey, join the Biblical Weight Loss Framework at the link below and let's move through your weight loss journey together. Are you sick of trying diet after diet and NOT losing weight?Hey there friend, I'm Lindy Schlabach, Christian Fitness & Nutrition Coach.
