Each day, take a good look at that face before you and see, in the light of God's grace, the face of God reflected in that precious face. Know that while each distinct feature is unique there is a common blueprint for both of you. See the beauty or frailty, as the case may be, as the characteristic given to the individual and the trust given to you. The embrace, then, is an embrace of pure love and trust. Don't turn your back to the other's plea. As you look at each other face to face and see the face of God, you move the home and history in the right direction. May that be our joy and hope. . Ravi Zacharias
About This Quote

When I look at myself in the mirror, I see a person that is very unique. My eyes are blue, my hair is brown, my skin is tan, and my nose is big. I don't look exactly like anyone else. At the same time, though, when I look in the mirror at my face, I feel love in my heart towards myself.

This love is pure and true, because it doesn't come from anyone trying to make me do something or for me to feel bad or guilty about who I am. The idea of this quote is that loving yourself is not something that comes from loving someone else more than yourself. Loving yourself is embracing your own nature and nature of being. It’s being kind to yourself even when you are sad or angry or tired or just plain old annoyed.
