Light image

I was in the mirror more times than not. It’s I Iike I was trying to find a reflection I had lost. Which is weird because most of my life, I disliked the image in the mirror that I saw. I swore at myself quite a lot. I even cried to GOD why he continues to watch me break apart. Berate myself, and break my own heart. I really want to believe it’s his way of proving to me, that if I can’t find beauty in this body than how could someone else, or anybody? He does love me, but needed me to love me. Especially if I wanted to be able to accept another human’s love, for me. I practiced looking at my reflection through his eyes that he lent me. I saw a bright light that illuminated the darkest of spaces, and it was radiating from my heart of all places. Me, a simple basic being, a house for light? That is the vision of me, he sees? I was baffled, this can’t be. I always envisioned a cloud hovering over me just darkness, bleak. Now I see it wasn’t the cloud I should have been looking for, but the rainbow that came after the storm restored the desolate places that always yearned for more. I am still not perfect but when I see my reflection I no longer curse it and finally without harsh judgement, I observe it. I see beauty where I never could, not perfection because no human is perfect. I never lost my reflection like I once believed. He helped me clean my mirror so I could finally see my reflection without deception. From those carnival mirrors to a clear image of one restored and resurrected.

    What a treat! I’m grateful to see you here two days in a row! This is more powerful than what can be understood at first. It’s something that you have to actually experience. People try so hard to rationalize their faith to someone else. But, it’s not necessarily logic or mathematics. It’s about the heart, mind, body, and soul. You’ve shown that perfectly here! I love that this is where you are now as you look upon your own reflection! No matter how beautiful or amazing that I think you are here from the time I’ve gotten to know your art so far, ultimately I’m glad that God appreciates it the most! More than any of us ever could! And when people like myself fail you, at least He never will. It really is a peace that surpasses all understanding. I actually want to set a reminder to come back to this from time to time when my faith feels wavering. Because I know that what you’re feeling here is true for me too. Sometimes I lose my way a little with the struggles of life. So thank you.

    I want to keep hearing more about your journey with faith! Selfishly, it’s nice to know I’m not alone in that endeavor here. If you ever need any prayers, then by all means just say, “Pray for me” at the end of a comment. And I’ll know exactly what you mean by that and act accordingly. 🙏🏻😁

      I appreciate you for always giving the best feedback amd comments. I agree with you that it is something each individual has to experience for themselves and it may look different. To know we are not alone is really a comforting thought. It really is a joy to be able to share my journey through life here through words I once believed did not matter. Thank you 😊

      I will take you up on that! 🙏🏼 🤲
