The Mirror That Lies
Stand in front of a mirror right now. What's the first thought that crosses your mind? If you're like most women, it's probably not gratitude. Body shame has become so normalized that we barely recognize it anymore-it's just the background noise of being female. But what if this relentless self-criticism isn't just a personal struggle? What if it's actually a spiritual crisis disguised as a cosmetic concern? At nine years old, lying in the backseat of her family's car, Jess Connolly used her hand like an imaginary knife, mentally slicing away parts of her body she deemed unacceptable. She prayed for God to remove these "extra" parts, promising to keep it secret. Three decades later, she admits that temptation still surfaces. This isn't vanity-it's a profound disconnection between believing God creates good things and feeling shame about the very body He designed. The questions we're avoiding cut deeper than we realize: Do we truly believe God makes good things? Do we know what our bodies are actually for? And what makes a body "good" in the first place?
