What do you see when you look in the mirror?

Do you see someone who is successful?
Do you see someone who is a failure?

Do you see someone who is brave?
Do you see someone who is scared?

Do you see someone who is confident?
Do you see someone who is apprehensive?

Do you see someone who is living?
Do you see someone who is dying?

Do you see someone who is God’s special creation?
Do you see someone who is an accident of randomness?

Do you see someone who has a future?
Do you see someone stuck in the past?

Look in the mirror and ask God to help you to see what He sees!

God sees you succeeding and bringing glory to Him as you bravely face whatever it is that this world has to throw at you.  God sees you walking confidently into every new day enjoying life, while you are living this life to it’s fullest potential.  God sees His special creation that He created to prosper and hope as you grow toward the amazing future that He has for you!

One of the most valuable lessons that I learned in High School was this: “It’s Not What You Know, It’s Who You Know That Counts!” I learned this lesson the hard way and had to suffer some embarrassment and a good bit of frustration along the way.  I want bore you with the details, but I will tell you that this one of the things that changed my life in a very big way!

I was thinking this morning about this lesson learned and how it allows the spiritual to unfold into our physical!  Think about it:  It’s not what you know, but WHO you know that counts! God is the Creator and Sustainer of life and if we know Him, really know Him, then that has to make a difference in our lives and our eternities.

When God knows you and you know Him, and because of your knowing Him, you live a different life, then your life is lived in a place of favor and blessing.  We are children of the Most High God.  Our Heavenly Father created the universe and everything in it.  His favor rests upon us, blessing flow through us and we can and should expect that this relationship changes things and makes a difference.

Psalms 8:5 says that God has “crowned us with glory and honor”.  God wants you to succeed in this life and throughout all eternity!  We need to believe, and if we believe, then we will expect, and if we expect, then watch out – MIRACLES ARE ON THE WAY!

I want to encourage you to live with confident assurance that you are God’s and God is yours!  Believe this and realize the great difference that this makes in your life!  Expect good things!  Believe that God will use even the bad for your good as you love and trust Him.  Determine to know Him more and to know Him better and with this renewed attitude of faith watch as God accomplishes incredible things in and through your life!
