Your life is a self-portrait of your mind and the intentions of your heart.
With your self-portrait on an easel, what do people see?
They see you.
Your self-portrait is the revelation of yourself, and you are a walking-talking picture in the presence of people.
What do people see when they see you?
They see everything because your self-portrait is an image of your internal self, which is the way you think of yourself, and your inner-self is you on an easel.
The more you study a person's self-portrait, the more you can know about them: their likes and dislikes, the things they value, the things they detest, the things they stand for or stand against, speak for or speak against, and the people they like and dislike.
As people gaze at your self-portrait, they also see the uniforms you wear: the clothes you wear at home, at work, at play, to sporting events, or to the family picnic. They also see you wearing your religious uniform. As you change from uniform to uniform, do they also see a change in your attitude and body language?
Continuing to gaze at your self-portrait, do people also see your shadows of darkness? These are those secret parts of your life that you hiding: your secret thoughts, secret deeds, secret opinions, perhaps your secret membership in a secret society as well as your secret dislike of people, or maybe a secret love.
When people look at your self-portrait, do they see an exact representation of your inner self, or do they see a split image? Do they see multiple personalities? Do they see you acting one way, then another? Do you act one way at church, another way when playing golf, another way in the presence of close friends and relatives, and yet another way when you are alone with your spouse and children? Do others see you as an honest person, or do they question your integrity? Do they see you as a humble person, or do they see you in all of your arrogance? Do others see your anger, or do you hide it?
Human history is a self-portrait, human governments have self-portraits, political parties have self-portraits, and all of man's religions have self-portraits. With all of these self-portraits on easels, you can know what each represents: by the colors, by words spoken and unspoken, body language, and by the shadows of darkness.
Your self-portrait is a revelation of you: on the easel, on canvas, and on display for the world to see.
Your self-portrait is an external reflection of your internal self-image. The opinion you have your your inner self is the projection you present to others.
How do you look? What are you saying? What do others see when they see you?
Others do not judge us for what they see: they are simply examining the evidence of our own presentation.
Most importantly, how does Almighty God see you?
God knows your heart, and He reads your mind.
God knows what you think about others, He knows what you think about yourself, and God also knows: what you think about Him.
