In addition to Bishop Barron’s Daily Gospel Reflection, I also subscribe to a couple of other faith based sites that help me start the day. Today, there was a very compelling offering, akin to some of the thoughts I have shared the past week or so.
“Have you noticed how quickly a single comment or glance can change how you feel about yourself? One compliment can lift you, one criticism can crush you. That’s because many of us are still looking into the wrong mirrors—letting others, or our own performance, define our worth.” Pray.com
Right on the money.
Both external and internal mirrors can reflect a distorted image. One that somehow confirms your perception of another’s view of your worth. And another that can corroborate one’s own belief that they simply lack any value whatsover.
If you can learn to ignore and block out that levek of noise, you will begin to hear something altogether different. A truth about you spoken from genuine love and support. He knows the best that is in you.
Beleive what is truly there and let it be seen by all. And you.
It is worth a second look.
