That's very much what this is about.
On good days, I think I'm tolerable to look at. BUT God thinks I'm beautiful. To think anything less is the lie. And, I'm going to spend the rest of my days trying to believe that despite knowing I AM the liar.
One of my brothers thinks I'm flakey. I can be, but I know I'm not.
One of my brothers has no idea how to take me. He may or may never figure that out. He loves me and I love him. If he never figures me out, that's a good thing, because I can't either.
One of my brothers thinks I always know what I'm doing. I hope he finally gets I don't always. I'm not even sure if usually.
My sister and youngest brother consider me the grownup out to teach them. Someday they'll get I was already away from home and married when they were born, so, no. I'm just another sibling and they are grown enough to make their own way without needing me to teach them (anything but God.)
I do see easily how others believe their own lies about me. It's not that they are lying evil things. They just believe stuff about me that is hard to get over thinking and it's nice they all love me, so I'm not worried if they get it right or wrong.
But, the hardest person to convince of a lie is ourselves. Especially since that lie we've accepted is about ourselves.
So, that's what this is. We all lie on who we are. We all hide horrendous secrets, that aren't all that horrendous to God... or are, but he settled it by dying on the cross because he loves us. To understand that is a first step. To believe it is sanctification. He keeps pushing who he is into us, until we trust him enough to take him at his word and agree.
To believe I'm beautiful is a small step, but I also know one I cannot take on my own. To put my face on this site is to tell people, I may not believe it yet, but I trust God is telling the truth. He has made me beautiful.

at that young age', is he already being indoctrinated into something before he has even been asked?
we are all blessed to even have been given the privilege of a Choice!!!
have you ever wondered, if from the 'beginning', if we each had our own choices,
"what would we do"???

I don't know if any of you are familiar with the movie "Shallow Hal", but I always thought that the hypnotized Hal was a great depiction of how God sees us.
Blain! You got the gurls cooing! (Even them 60 year olds hubba hubba ) But somehow I pictured you with a Beatles-like do too.

He just took it up on his own. Says "Bible", "Jesus" a lot, and will grab his dad's hand and look at him matter-of-factly and tell him, "Pray!" He also puts his hands up in the air and says, "Whooo".

Do know the choices made in my earlier years would be different for sure!
