What we look at affects how we look. Share on XAgain, what we look at affects how we look. This raises the obvious question, doesn’t it? What are we looking at? If you’re depressed and anxious, you won’t get less depressed and anxious by looking at the faces of your depressed and anxious friends. We become what we behold.
Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. (Psalms 34:5 NIV, emphasis mine)
Did you see how looking at God changes how we look? We become radiant because He is radiant. Remember that changing how we look isn’t done by changing styles or getting a new haircut. It’s done by changing our view.
