How often do you hear someone say something like “they are hot!” and how often do you find yourself looking in the mirror later and comparing yourself to that person. How often do you think of yourself with a ‘ick’ or ‘ugly’ thought.
Why is it that we do these things?
Here’s why, we are four eyed, if you don’t understand let me explain. We have two sets of eyes to look through, the world’s eyes, and God’s eyes. The world’s eyes see, hot or not, they compare the physical appearance to the world’s definition of what looks good. God’s eyes only see one thing, the beauty in every single one of His creations. You see He made every single one of us in His image, and did you know that in the bible it says angels bow down at His beauty. God made you beautiful!
Now you may be saying, “yeah I know that, but I have this, and I have that”
That’s the world’s eyes you’re looking through, the world focuses solely on imperfections, it tries to get you so focused so tightly on those imperfections that you become convinced the whole person is imperfect.
God’s eyes see the person for who they are, His eyes see the whole person.
So for world, beauty is truly only skin deep. But for God beauty come from the inside out.
Which eyes will you choose to look through?

Sooo true!!! Thank you for the reminder! :)
Why is this so much harder to act upon than it is to agree with it? Why is there a difference between believing with your head and believing with your heart? How do we align these two?
in response to kimberly.
have you ever tried to break a habit? something you do without thinking. your habit is to look, see, and judge with the worlds eyes, because that's what you see everyone doing. I've heard that if a person were to live in complete darkness they would go blind because their eye's are not needed. If you haven't used God's eyes to look at things in a long time you can't expect to instantly see perfectly clear through them. you have to make the choice and go full out for it. if you have to be retrained to look through God's eyes, you need to get rid of everything in your life that's training you to look through the worlds eyes, tv shows, magazines, music. in the end it is really simple, Fall madly in love with God, if you are wholly focused on God, he well be the one leading you, instead of the world.
