real you

How do you see yourself? Do you see yourself the way others see you? My word says that man looks on the outward appearance. This is as true now as when it was written, and all the more so in your appearance conscious culture. But there is more to the real you than the reflection you see in the mirror, and I look upon your heart. You have an essential being that is more than the sum of what you weigh and your age and your height and other objective measures. This essential being is what I see when I look at you. I want you to learn to see yourself the same way, instead of how you look.
