We Only Know Ourselves in Another's Eyes

Scripture1 John 4:16 (NIV)And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.God is love.Whoever lives in love lives in God,and God in them.RefrainI am known in relationship and held in love.QuoteRichard Rohr, from The Universal Christ"If that mirror is withdrawn for any reason,it causes sadness, emptiness, or even anger.We are normally disoriented,even heartbroken for a while.We die in some way. But why?Because we only know ourselves in another's eyes.We receive our identity — all of it — good and bad,from another.The other both creates us and saves us.The universe is relational at every level,and even between levels.Relationship is the core and foundational shape of Reality."
