“See what I was in myself and by myself. I had destroyed myself, but He Who made me remade me.” -St. Augustine
You are not yet who you really are. Others
may see but a dim reflection. You may see as with a mirror full of
cracks and stain. But that is not the entire essence of who you are.
You must be able to see the person that God sees, the person God Himself has made.
You must see
your true beauty and dignity before any shame or sin has ever touched
you, before any pain and suffering has ever taken away your light.
Let all stains of disgrace be washed away. Let every wound that has blemished your wholeness be healed.
Trust in the One who has made you. Let Him purify you once more and renew you. Let Him reveal to you who you really are.
The Lord, your God, is in your midst,
a warrior who gives victory;
he will rejoice over you with gladness,
he will renew you in his love…
-Zephaniah 3:17, NRSV-CE
