Dotsie, I once "heard" God tell me that if I couldn't look myself in the mirror and love who/what I see (which I've not been able to do comfortably most of my life) how did I think I'd ever be able to look Him in the eye. I thought I was crazy, but as I began to listen to Him wooing me in that direction over and over again, I began to understand what He meant. The person in the mirror is His creation too...if I praise and honour Him for all creation, that has to include the person I see in the mirror. That's a hard one for some of us to swallow. But I understand it now....until I can look in the mirror and see beauty and masterpiece, I'm a long way from understanding the depths of His Love for me.
