Mirror mirror on the wall

There i was standing before my mirror. My eyes looked big, my tummy was popping out, my thighs looked so huge you could swear i was fed fast food from being an infant until my teenage years. I had a scar on my face and my teeth were not as straight as my friends teeth! Tormented by this image before my very eyes, i suffered a great deal! I saw nothing beautiful about myself so i decided to do something about it! I decided i was going to use make-up, i was going to try all sorts of diet pills (including apple cider vinegar) and to my surprise all these did not work! Each day i could feel a piece of my joy and confidence being cropped out! I could see them leaving me and the junctional complex between myself and them was not strong enough! Let me be Bulimic, i thought to myself! I carried my tooth brush around and after every meal, i did what i thought was good and that was “throw it all out”. Little did i know the health hazards that accompanied my new way of doing things. i became sick and i knew i had to stop!!
hopeless and feeling fat i cried myself to sleep every night…this was until God said something to me. That He has created me in his image. God told me that He knitted me up in my mothers womb and made every delicate part of me! He told me that i have been excellently and beautifully crafted!

ok ok God i hear you (i said), but how could you exalt me like that wen i look like this? ( i asked)

I was eager to hear his answer and when He said it, i fell to my knees and cried. God said to me “Look inside you, i reside in you and that is the source of who you are. I have spoken words into your life and if you read them, you will know who you are”

I was excited and really wanted to know which words God was talking about!

1. Deuteronomy 26:18
The Lord has declared today that you are his people, his OWN SPECIAL TREASURE, just as he promised.

2.Proverbs 31:26
When she speaks, her words are WISE, and kindness is the rule when she gives instructions

3.Romans 12:6
we have DIFFERENT GIFTS , according to the grace given us

4.Jeremiah 17:7
BLESSED are those who trust in the lord

5.Matthew 13:43
The RIGHTEOUS will SHINE like the sun in the kingdom of their father

I saw these verses and many more. Some i read state that i am more than a conqueror, the salt of the earth, peculiar,Strong, wise and made in Gods image! when i saw all that God had said about me, i decided to filter out what people had said about me. I decided to reconstruct what the mirror said with what God says i am! i am beautiful, powerful, blessed and dearly loved by God.

Mirror mirror on the wall, i am very pretty says my father (God).
No make up, no clothing can make you feel good if you do not feel and see the good in yourself

Thank you for reading
