Thank you all for the prayer-ing

Isaiah 61:10 (NKJV)

 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,
My soul shall be joyful in my God;
For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,
And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

In Christ's Presence we have infinite approval. We often judge ourselves on the basis of what we see in the mirror, even though we know how fickle and shallow that ever changing image is. We tend to be equally enslaved to viewing ourselves through the eyes of other people, rigorously evaluating our personal performance and almost always feeling displeased with something we have said or done.
"Enslaved" is an appropriate word. We are indeed a slave when we try to measure ourselves through any perspective but Christ's. Evaluating our worth based on how we look, to ourselves or others, is always a trap. Though invisible, a well-nurtured soul can actually improve our appearance. As we rest in the certainty of Christ's unfailing love, our face glows with the joy of His Presence.
Christ's approval of us is infinite because it will continue forever. It is based entirely on Christ's righteousness, which is ours for all eternity. When you look in a mirror, try to see yourself as you truly are--arrayed in perfect righteousness, adorned in glowing approval.
