You're Beautiful!

You're beautiful
You really are
When I gaze into your eyes I see God's love
Your warmth and compassion make me feel connected and help me remember who I am
I'm so glad God made you, because your being exactly who you are, blesses me.

Did you know that God made you beautiful, from the inside out, not for you, but for our benefit.
God didn't have you in mind when he made you physically gorgeous. He wanted to bless all of us who cast our eyes upon you. He wanted us to see ourselves in your beauty so that we could be reminded of our inner beauty. Each time we behold beauty it makes us resonate with our inner centre of love.

God didn't invent mirrors. Man did. It was man who became obsessed with his narcissistic behaviour, his obsession with gazing at himself in the mirror.

The mirrors God gave us are each other. We should pay more attention to our God-made mirrors. These mirrors reflect back to us from the soul. They are a perfect reflection for us of our emotions, our egos, our self love, our minds and our intellect. When we see a trait that we don't like in others, it is our centre of love nudging us to recognise that inner weakness in ourselves. When we read fear in the face of another, we are gazing at our fear in our creator's mirror. When we behold beauty in another, we are reminded of the beauty which is ours. What we are reflecting and mirroring for one another is our love. We are by God's perfect design, mirrors for one another. How beautiful is that?

Notice that earth-made mirrors only reflect our physical bodies back to us. They are of little use other than to scrutinise the outer layer, the crust that seemingly houses our mind, intellect, emotions, ego and spirit. By gazing into a man-made mirror, we become fixated with the changes occurring in the outer crust, the decay, the inevitable ageing process. We can easily become distracted as our egos become fixated with outward comparisons between others and ourselves. We become self absorbed as our egos lure our minds, intellect and emotions into its make believe drama of : "I am only as good as my facade, the one I observe in my man-made mirror."

Have you noticed when you point your index finger at someone, there are three fingers pointing back at you?
How often do you accuse, judge and label others?
Notice that when you do, three fingers are pointing back at you.
If you tell someone: "You're stupid", then you're three times more stupid than them. And worse, when you stand in front of that proverbial mirror and point the finger at yourself and say: " I'm so useless", you are four times more useless.
But if you praise someone and raise their awareness of their hidden strengths, if you acknowledge their Godness in them, you are three times more than what you recognise in them.
So you've got to praise yourself and when you do, you will be praising yourself to the power of four.

Let's look for every opportunity to find our love reflected back at us in every other being, every object and every living creature. Let's acknowledge the majestic and magnificent in every sunrise and sunset. Let's  become like little children in our awe and excitement. Let's see our God-given beauty in everything we behold. Let's sit up and notice our magnificence. We are surrounded by mirrors.

And let's thank each other for being exactly that.

Thank you, my sweet reader, for being my mirror. Thank you for continuing to reflect for me that which I need to address in myself and that which I need to have gratitude for. Thank you for your beauty, your honesty and your love. There is no truer mirror than you.

You are beautiful in every single way.

Have an awesome week

love
Nicolette
P.S. Perhaps we could try not observing ourselves in man-made mirrors this week, but rather in the God-made mirrors that abound. Notice the nuances and inner feelings that are conjured up as you gaze into the mirrors that surround you. Notice how much less your ego is able to sabotage your feelings of self worth without man-made mirrors. Observe how much easier it is to connect with the self within, without the distraction of the peripheral mirror.
