God sees our innocent love

If only we could see what God sees when He looks at us, our lives would be so different. The reflection we see from our mirrors is not true. It is only from our perspective.

Would you change certain habits? Would you reprioritize your life? Would you speak different to people? Would you have different friends? Would you choose a different career?

If we look deeply enough we will see a reflection of God in our mirror. If we see that glimmer of goodness then we will be motivated to live a different life. If only we could see ourselves as God does it would not only change our lives but the entire world. Our world is in need of a change. If only…
