Hello, BLESSED!
by Kenneth Copeland
As a believer, you should get excited every morning when you look in the mirror. Even if, in the natural, you see some things that could use some sprucing up, you ought to look past the messy hair or whatever and get excited about who you really are.
You’re not just a flesh-and-blood human being, or an old sinner saved by grace. You’re a child of the Almighty God.
Born of the seed of His WORD, your inner man has been re-created in the image of Jesus. Your spirit—which is the real you—looks just like Him.
Talk about good-looking!
So what if on the outside your body isn’t yet totally glorious? It will be one of these days when Jesus returns—and in the meantime, on the inside you’re nothing less than stunning. Your inner man is shining with the glory of God!
“Even so, Brother Copeland, I sure would like for there to be more visible evidence of it in my life.”
Then spend more time in front of the mirror. Not the one in your bathroom. The one you carry to church on Sunday. The mirror of God’s WORD. It contains the full truth about your spiritual identity and inheritance: You are who it says you are. You have what it says you have, and you can do what it says you can do.
The more you renew your mind to what The WORD says about you, the more who you are on the inside becomes visible on the outside. The more your faith grows and the more you and everyone around you can see that, although you live in this world, you’re not of this world. You’ve been delivered from the power of darkness and, as Colossians 1:13-14 says, you’ve been “translated into the kingdom of [God’s] dear Son: in whom we have redemption through His blood.”
