We change, not by staring at our flaws, but by staring at Him.

Paul writes:

“But we all… beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image.”
2 Corinthians 3:18

You don’t sculpt yourself.
You stand before the One whose presence reshapes you.

Jesus is perfectly balanced in every virtue—kind but never weak, firm but never harsh, strong but never distant.
He is the picture of what humanity was always meant to be.

Transformation doesn’t come from trying to behave like Jesus.
It comes from watching Him until something inside you begins to change without force.

You reflect whatever you look at the longest.
