When you look in a mirror, what do you see? Do you see a beautiful face, a person who matters? Or, like many, do you see every little flaw? Do you see a tarnished person, a piece of trash? You are NOT alone.
I used to look in a mirror and see a person who was so dirty no one could possibly want to know me. I did not see worth, value, intelligence, beauty. In fact, I had seen it proven time and again that I was disposable, only worth what others could take.
But then, I met the one person who saw me differently, someone who didn't want anything from me. He only wanted to give me the love that I really deserved and show me the worth that was there all along. Through tumultuous times, He stripped away my defenses, brought to my knees, and opened my eyes to the value that He saw, the person He created. And it is only through His love, God's love, that I am still here.
God found me, or rather I found Him, when I had reached the lowest point in my childhood. And it was at this crucial turning point that God came into my life. From then on, I had something to live for, a reason to do well and try to make something of myself.
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father's care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid, you are worth more than many sparrows. Matthew 10:29-31
