When you look in the mirror—which Eyes do you use?

Answer One — The Eyes of Judgment

I don’t like the man I see. The one staring back at me feels like a fake—a pretender.

A man in pain. Divided.

On the outside—social, engaging, even fun.

On the inside—wounded, angry, quick to grow cold and sharp.

He carries quiet stories, heavy with grief—stories no one else knows.

Answer Two — The Eyes of Love

Grace whispers-I see a scared boy.

Lonely.

Under loved.

Hoping to belong.

Still stuck in old places.

Jesus whispers-

You are saved. You are forgiven. You are made new.

Rest— with Me, and in Me. You are not broken beyond repair—just trapped and struggling.

Rest with me. Walk with me.

Today. Together.

Prayer

Father, please give me your eyes of love.  Amen.

Scripture

“If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”
