When
God Looks at Me
When
God looks at me, what does He see? What
does He think? What does He know about
me?
Have
you ever wondered and pondered those questions for yourself? Come along with me for a stroll and a chat.
Here’s
what I believe about God’s thoughts toward me and you.
He
counts every hair on my head. You
too. That’s a pretty insignificant
thing, don’t you think? My number of
hairs changes daily, and yet, somehow, God keeps track. If He does a simple task like that, is there,
perhaps, more that God notices about you and me?
He
knows my name. Jeremiah 1:5 tells us
this:
“Before I formed you in
the womb I knew you. Before you were
born I set you apart.” This verse is not just
for Jeremiah. It is for all of us.
And
in Isaiah 43:1 we read: “Fear not, for I
have redeemed you. I have called you by
name. You are mine.”
To
be known and recognized by an all-wise God is a profound thought. We’re not nobodies. We’re not being ignored, no matter where we
live or regardless of the battles and struggles we face day by day.
We
are known by God!
He
has revealed His love in the manger, in the Temple to a prostitute caught in
the act, in the acceptance of tax collectors named Matthew and Zacchaeus, in the
parable of the prodigal son, to the thief on the cross who received the promise
of paradise at the 11th hour, and countless other incidents revealed
in the scriptures.
His
love goes beyond our appearance, our sins, our past, our unrighteousness
decisions and our strong proclivities.
HE LOVES US AS WE ARE, NOT AS WE SHOULD BE!
May
these thoughts bring comfort and encouragement to your heart and mind.
