I want you to experience the riches of your salvation: the joy of being loved constantly and unconditionally. You make a practice of judging yourself, based on how you look or feel . If you like what you see in the mirror, you feel a bit more worthy of My love. When things are going smoothly and your performance seems adequate , you find it easier to believe you are My beloved child. When you feel discouraged, you tend to look inward so you can correct whatever is wrong.
Instead of trying to "fix" yourself, fix your gaze on Me, the Lover of your soul. Rather than using your energy to judge yourself, redirect it to praising Me. remember that I see you clothed in My righteousness, radiant in My perfect Love. ~ Sarah Young, Jesus Calling
Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed. ~ Psalm 34:5

Christy, I read a devotional from this book in the morning and I loved this one. I think the Lord is trying to get a message to me as I was also reading Hebrews 12:1-3 about fixing my eyes on Jesus. I love when He does this!
