When it comes to how people view themselves you all have a blind spot.

When you look in the mirror you don't see the same things I do.

You see mistakes & flaws.

I see perfection & beauty in My making.

It's true, others don't know you as well as You do.

But I know you even better than you know yourself.

I know that I see the little things you don't.

Like how you criticize & critique yourself.

But don't you know that you are priceless?

You don't need to change for anyone, though I hope you choose to change for Me.

You compare yourself to others.

Why do you bother?

There is only one you.

I would of created duplicates if I wanted two.

Don't you see that you are priceless?

You don't need to change for anyone, though I hope you choose to change for Me.

I see you finally being satisfied with who you are,

only to be conformed to a common pattern when you don't fit their mold.

You are bartering with you're sanity,

trying to be something you think you want.

Don't you see that you are priceless?

You don't need to change through anyone but Me.

I see you with your self-appointed errors.

They are not real, concocted by lies.

Who do you think you are?

It is only My job to judge.

Don't you see that you are priceless?

You don't need to change through anyone but Me.

It saddens me to see you stone yourself.

You are the worst judge, jury, victim, & perp all rolled into a tense little package.

Each character in you has something to say.

They all speak at once but only the judge holds the gavel.

Don't you see that you are priceless?

You won't find change through anyone but Me.

So what shall it be?

The verdict is in.

To either let Me satisfy you.

Or to continue bruising yourself.

Don't you see that you are priceless?

You don't need to change for any of them; they satisfy you only with broken promises.

I will not force you to change, but rather encourage you for much greater things.

For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future...
