The Apple View

Since the beginning of this whole thing, we've had the wrong idea of the apple, haven't we? We only need to read Genesis to see what a mess came from believing the wrong thing about what the apple represents to us. Centuries later, we still get it wrong, as effectively depicted in this image:

We don't see things as God sees them when we view ourselves. We see things as we believe the worst about ourselves and our bodies. We may even become emaciated. Still, the relection we see is that self-defined, unacceptable apple. Do we, however, even look to God's mirror? Check out what that true reflection says about us: “O my dove…let me see your form…for your form is lovely.” Song of Solomon 2:14 “Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.” Song of Solomon 4:1 “Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.” Song of Solomon 4:7 Which mirror do we choose for ourselves? We are the apple of God's eye, no matter what. See that, not an apple inaccuracy!
