I SEE ME IN YOU: GOD SAID TO ME!

I SEE ME IN YOU: GOD SAID TO ME!

Sometimes I sit around alone and these thoughts come to me. I wonder and wonder, over and over again: at least a million times more. Just how God looks like. Our thoughts as humans never ever leave us, even in our dreams when we’re asleep. I want to put it to you that: our thoughts consume some 80% of all the time we spend on earth breathing. We carry ourselves in our thoughts.

And there I was this afternoon, just thinking out loud when suddenly, I grabbed my phone and took a selfie in six quick successive shots. I stared at myself. I looked again and again wondering: why I never ever feel like the way I actually look most of the time? These thoughts kept bouncing at me like empty bubbles breaking off against my face without even leaving a splat of water on my skin.

Then, all of a sudden like a bolt from the blue, I heard God whispering to my heart’s ear and sounded like He was saying: Did you ever wonder just how I look or even see myself as God? What sort of image forms inside your imagination every time you struggle to conjure up the real way I look?

At this moment I was still fixated on my selfie and just thinking about how differently I looked when compared to the way I actually felt about myself sitting inside the same image: which felt more like living inside a cage made of flesh and blood. I really don’t understand why my mind always picks up a fight with my eyes and starts arguing with the evidence staring right at me. My eyes will be like: Hey, this is you: and you look 100% the part, better believe it! I’d scream back to my eyes: No, I don’t believe it, this isn’t me!

I’d run to my mirror in denial and ask her: is this for real, is this the real me? The mirror would smile back at me and says: Yes, Sydney, this is you in real time. My heart sinks in congenial surrender and I smiled at myself while my thoughts checked me out for a fool. What fool? I’d hit back at my thoughts as I begin to embrace this reality of being me and feeling like myself. What a thrill!

I see Me in You, Sydney: God seemed to be saying to me. I created Adam and Eve in order to reflect my image through them. Did you know that even though I am God who created everything around you, I have never had the privilege of seeing myself just as I Am or the way I feel? Mirrors cannot reproduce my image. The sun, the moon and the stars cannot even project my shadow. I do not have any form: and nothing in Heaven and Earth has the power to replicate my image back to my face and allow me to see myself as God! I can’t see myself. You are the only mirror I have of Myself: I see Me in You!

You are the reason for my smile, because every time I look at you: I see Me in You. You are the reflection of my Love, my Being and the fulfilment of my Joy. Believe Me, even all your emotions of ups and downs: truly reflect My every mood which would have otherwise been impossible without your image!

Wow, this cracked open the mystery of knowing just how God really sees me: my selfie was all it took for me to get the true picture and allowed me to frame my own image inside my heart and see Me in real time exactly the same way God sees me. Believe it or not, this image and this picture, is the true reflection of how God sees me in real time despite how low I maybe feeling at the time.

I see Me in You, God chuckled as He waved goodbye to me: leaving my heart and thoughts in a tender embrace I’ve never had or felt before. Oh yes, now I feel as one with myself just as much as God feels like whenever He winks at me and takes a proud look at Himself, and that’s me: God’s image bounces off my face and this one thing only, brings so much fulfilment in His heart.

I see Me in You, God said to me. I see Me in You: now I believe it with all my heart and soul! Every morning I kicked the blankets and wake up to a new day: I feel God in me and feel even more emboldened that my being reflects His image right down here below. My own shadow can’t be greater than myself, the same way I can’t be equal with God but just a tiny reflection of His mighty shadow. I smile, not because I can on my own but, because God smiles through me. I reflect and project God’s image whether I believe it or not: but because God is.

With God there’s no “now you see me - now you don’t” euphemism or hyperbole; because with Him, like the Bible says: there’s no shadow of turning!

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. ~James 1:17
