How God Sees Us
Our Father looks at us like any loving father looks at his children, only more so. What I mean is this, He is the perfect Father, therefore He has perfect love toward His children. He sees our beauty and overlooks our faults. What we think are our imperfections He sees as uniquenesses. I am not speaking of sin of course, but those things like a raspy off key voice, a big nos, big ears (I have all of these), all of these and more to Him make us beautiful. How can we know this? Because He had it written down in His live letter to us. You may have read it – it’s called the Bible. Here is just one scripture that proves what I say.
Psalms 96:6 Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Today, WE individually and collectively are His sanctuary, His temple. Paul tells us that.
1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
Since we are the sanctuary, and the sanctuary is in the temple, then our Father Yahuah (Lord) sees strength and beauty in us when He looks at us. And in truth, that is how we were made. We were made in His image. The fall tarnished that. The lives we have led tarnished that. But the good news is, God already washed that all away when we asked and continue to ask for forgiveness. When that is washed away, what is left is something that resembles God, with strength and beauty. That is what God sees when He looks at us.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are worthy to be King. You are our King. We want Your kingdom here.Praise the name Yahuah! Send us today a very different day, Yahuah (Lord). Let today be that day when You manifest Your greatness when You manifest an overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins, Father. And we thank You for all of the strength You have given us to overcome temptation to sin. Continue to heal our hearts and our minds, for they have been infected with doubt and unbelief for many years. We need the ointment of Your Holy Spirit to sooth those wounds and heal them. Deliver us from the enemy that even now steals from Your people while they sleep, and the more so when they are awake. Crush the works of the enemy Yahuah (Lord). Rise up and grind it to powder, and scatter it in a whirlwind. Come now Yahuah with a strong hand and an outstretched arm to deliver Your people Yahuah (Lord). We ask all these things in the name of Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
