Use his mirror

I’ve been reading Sheet Music by Dr. Kevin Leman. He reminds me of what I know.

We were made to watch one woman in particular, not all women in general.

For my husband, I am that one woman.
Me.
For better, for worse. I’m the only game in town.

You don’t have to look like Pamela Anderson to attract your husband. He wants to see you.

But am I enough? What if feel fat? Unattractive? Worn out?

Jeff says, Untrue. You are more than enough.  
He says, Let me be your mirror.
He says, I see delight, beauty, pleasure. 

I must choose daily. My mirror or his?

Do I believe my harsh self-evaluation?
Or his grace-filled vision?

I choose his.
It makes him happy.
It makes me happy, too.

The best satisfaction comes from satisfying someone else, not in being satisfied.

Just as we must decide to see ourselves as God see us—chosen, righteous, beloved—so we must decide to see ourselves as our spouses see us—hand-picked, beautiful, theirs.Visit with our friends at Holy Experience for more of
