Summary
But how do we do that? How exactly do we use our faith to help us through our body image insecurities?
Today, I want to dive into 4 very practical things you can do when feeling insecure about your body.
First things first, if you are starting a journey of trying to make peace with your reflection, I want to encourage you to put this scripture on your mirror, and truly look at it every time you see yourself.
The writer of Psalm 45 directs our attention to the mirror of TRUTH.
"Listen, Daughter and pay careful attention: Forget your people and your father's house. Let the King be ENTHRALLED by your beauty; honor him, for He is your Lord." That's verses 10 and 11.
When the psalmist speaks directly to the bride and says; "listen daughter, and pay careful attention" he's saying "Stop listening to the lies and LISTEN to the truth! AKA Stop looking at the distorted mirror of the culture and look into the eyes of your KING!!"
The King of Kings is ENTHRALLED by your beauty too. He is so enthralled with you that He gave up His throne in Heaven to come into our broken world and win you over to Himself.
Remember this, as we constantly look in the mirror of truth, we'll see our sacred reflections better clearly, and we'll reflect the beauty of Christ to others more consistently.
