The Mirror of Grace

 

When we look in the mirror, we often see our flaws, our failures, the parts of ourselves we wish we could change. But God's gaze is different. God looks at you and sees beloved child. Not because you've earned it or achieved it, but simply because you are. This is the foundation of everything: you are loved, fully and completely, exactly as you are right now.

A prayer for today: Loving God, help me to see myself through your eyes of grace, and to know myself as your beloved child.
