I love to
look at you. I know I see more than you
see when you look in the mirror. You may see a kink in your hair that shouldn’t
be there, or that your eye lashes are too short or that there’s a pimple in a
conspicuous place or that your shirt isn’t the style you wish it were. You may
even see that you don’t look like someone else and judge that since they look
beautiful you must not. I’m not saying
that those things don’t matter because they do, but only a little bit. As
daughters of God we represent him both in what we think, say and do and how we
look. However, some of the things we like least or like most about our outward
appearance are only distractions from who we really are. It’s very hard to look past the mirror and see
what’s real. But, even though you may not see it, you can feel it and, if you
listen closely, you can hear it. Through
the Holy Ghost, Heavenly Father will tell you.
And, when
you hear and feel it, it will illuminate you in a way that is so real and so
profound that it will be undeniably visible to others. Part of what they will see is your smile, and
you’ll be smiling a lot! You may still only hear and feel the light, but others
will see and be guided to it. It’s the
best make-up in the universe! And, only
those who look past the mirror can wear it. I hope that this time at camp is a time where mirrors only help you get
the dirt off and that your true beauty is evidenced in the light that comes from
knowing who you really are and living like that person really should live. I
hope that you will grow that light daily and carry it with you at all times and
in all things and in all places.
I love
you and can hardly wait to see and feel your light again in a few days.
Sis Chris
