When I look in the mirror every morning I think “My goodness, can that really be me?” I look at pictures of myself and think, “Why do I look this old? Why didn’t someone tell me to straighten my sweater; uncock my head and quit leaning? Why didn’t I have lipstick on because I look so washed out?” I have to admit, I spent a lot of years behind a camera as a photographer and I have always been more comfortable there than in front of the camera. Most of the people I know feel the same way; very uncomfortable with any picture that is made.
It’s not the end of the world when unflattering pictures are posted for
all to see. We have to face the fact that we are not perfect. We are
not always made up and ready to be in front of a camera. And, we have to
realize, at least a lot of us do, that we are old; we are wrinkled and
we are not photogenic.
What really should matter is how God sees us. God doesn’t see just our physical bodies but He sees what’s in our heart.
“Men judge by outward appearance, but I look at a man’s thoughts and intentions.”1 Samuel 16:7B TLB
