Living Loved: See Yourself Through God’s Eyesනියැදිය

One of the amazing and sometimes frustrating things about our walk with God is that it’s an ongoing journey.

He’s continually renewing and transforming us into His image.

I’ve often wished this process were already complete—that I fully knew God and perfectly lived out who He created me to be. But the truth is, there’s always more healing, revelation, and freedom that He wants to give us.

Limiting beliefs often stand in the way of freedom.

Whether you’ve been a believer for five minutes or fifty years, chances are, you’ve encountered beliefs that create invisible barriers around your life. These beliefs act like ceilings, or boxes, or bear traps, hindering your perspective of the present and your dreams for the future. They shrink your view of God and what He can do in and through you.

But God invites us to bring these beliefs into His light.

In biblical times, dishonest merchants would use wax to conceal cracks in pottery, making flawed vessels appear perfect. This happened so commonly that honest merchants would market their work as sine cera (which means “without wax” in Latin).

To verify quality, buyers would hold the pottery up to the sunlight, where the light would reveal any hidden flaws.

Similarly, we can hold our beliefs up to the light of God’s Word, asking Him to expose any falsehoods that hinder us.

Consider something you've been thinking about today.

Does this belief about God, yourself, or your circumstances align with what the Bible says?

If it doesn’t, that’s not a reason for shame but an opportunity to press closer to God and ask, “What do You see? How can I live differently?”

For me, this often looks like catching myself in a spiral of worry or hopelessness and asking, “Does this align with God’s promises?”

Then I remember verses like this:

“Cast all your anxieties on Him because He cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7)

The light of God’s truth isn’t condemning—it’s freeing. It invites us to let go of false beliefs and replace them with His truth.

This process reminds me of Japanese kintsugi, the art of repairing broken pottery with gold. Instead of throwing away the broken jar or disguising the cracks, kintsugi highlights them as the piece is reassembled, making it more beautiful and valuable.

God works similarly in our lives.

He doesn’t ask us to conceal our flaws or past mistakes. Instead, He uses them to showcase His redemptive work, turning our broken places into mended and healed testimonies of His grace.

When we share how God has healed us, others see His beauty and power. Our cracks become golden lines of His glory, drawing others to Him.

So today, hold your beliefs up to God’s light. Let Him reveal what’s insincere, replace it with His truth, and transform the broken places in your life into a display of His beauty as He draws you closer to Himself.
