When you take a picture with a lot of people and you ask to see the picture who do you look for first? Yourself of course, you want to see if you look good, if the angle makes you look nice, if you can see weird mole on your cheek. When we wake up in the morning why do we spend 5 minutes in front of the mirror doing our hair or makeup, or why do your parents make you comb or brush your hair before you go out somewhere nice?
It’s because we want to look nice we don’t want people to think we look weird or strange. But often we are the biggest critic, we are the people who see the little imperfect on our face that no one else will notice, we are the people who take selfies from the right angle so on one sees our double chin, and we are the people who think about how we’re no good because we did something wrong or because we didn’t do well on our test at school.
When we look at ourselves we often feel like we’re not good enough or pretty enough or not smart enough or nice enough. But luckily that’s not how God sees us. The Bible tells us that we are made in God’s image and God sees us as perfect people just as he planned because we have been redeemed through Jesus sacrifice for us.
And God tells us that we shouldn’t find our worth or identity in how well we do in school or how good we are at a sport, or how we look but in Jesus. God loved us enough to sacrifice his only son and we are worth that love because Jesus died for us.
So this week when you see an imperfection or feel like you’re not good enough. Remember that God loves you just as you are and he made you to be like that.
Read: 2 Corinthians 5:17

· What’s one thing that you might see as not great about yourself
