About 12 years ago, in 2013, an experiment was done by the Dove soap company. The company invited a number of women to be sketched by an FBI-trained forensic artist named Gil Zamora.The artist would not see the women he was to sketch rather they would sit behind a curtain and he would listen to verbal descriptions of their appearance and then draw a matching reflection. The artist would do two sketches of each woman . The first sketch would be based on how the woman described herself and the second sketch would be based on how complete strangers described the woman to the artist.
As the artist began doing these sketches the results were shocking. It was discovered that the sketches done based on the description of the strangers were always more beautiful than the ones described by the women themselves. It turned out that the women’s self-descriptions were uglier than those drawn from a stranger’s descriptions of them.
The project revealed that; most women do not appreciate their own beauty, nor can they accurately describe how they look.
In the world today, most people struggle with low self images. This is often as a result of being negatively affected by people and life’s circumstances.
But as believers in Christ, through study of the Scriptures, we are able to see our true value and develop the right self image.
Ephesians 2:10 says: “We are God’s masterpiece”.
That means you are not ordinary. There is a tag on you that says, “Made by the Almighty God”.
Psalm 139:14 says you have been fearfully and wonderfully made.. The word “fearful” in the original language means to stand in awe, to reverence.’
God has created you to be a sign and wonder to the world.
God designed your DNA to hold the equivalent of 1,000 volumes of coded blueprints that determine the unique features of your complexion, hair, eyes, shape etc. Nobody else has your fingerprints, the same eyes, the same voice. Indeed God has made you to be original, special and one of a kind.
Looking at yourself from the world’s perspective, will only limit and cloud your perception of yourself. But gaining insight from God’s Word will give you a better understanding of how precious you are in God’s eyes. What you see with your eyes is completely different from what God sees about you. God sees your potential and capabilities. He has created you to live a life of glory and not shame. You are destined to be above only and not beneath. As you continually look into the Word, you will see that you are indeed a divine masterpiece, designed to manifest God’s glory and exercise dominion upon the earth.
PRAYER: Lord please enable me to always study Your Word so that I can see through the eyes of faith and know that I am indeed born to be great and destined to manifest Your glory to my generation in Jesus Name. .
