I hung this sign (pictured) next to the mirror in my bathroom as a reminder not to torture myself with criticisms or comparisons. At the very least, I start and finish my day at that mirror so it’s fairly important to take some authority over my thoughts in that place. I choose love. Not vain, self-centered love. The kind of love that doesn’t argue with what God made. The kind of love that grows from being rooted in God’s perfect love. The kind of love that sees past the fading and temporary — not only for myself but for others.
