How He Sees Us

Real love isn't out to judge and condemn; real love values, helps, lifts up, and heals. This is the saving love and compassion of God, which is called Grace.

"When He saw the crowds, He was deeply moved with compassion for them, because they were troubled and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd."

Matthew 9:26 (ISV)

God didn't see us as criminals needing to be punished, as rebels needing to be subdued, as evil ones who needed to be crushed, as transgressors who needed to 'pay' for their wrongs. NO!
He saw us as children needing to be loved..
He saw us as sick ones needing to be healed..
He saw us as lonely ones needing to be befriended..
He saw us as captives needing to be freed..
He saw us as sleepers needing to be awakened..
He saw us as scared little ones needing to be reassured..
He saw us as helpless ones needing to be taken care of..
He saw us as those in the darkness who need light..
He came in the flesh, came and entered into our messed up conditions and rescued us, healed us, embraced us, took care of us, freed us, LOVED us. He came to show us how special we are to Him, who we really are to Him!
Now we can know ourselves as He has always known us, see ourselves as He has always seen us...for He has always seen us:
...as His treasures that He values..
...as His masterpieces that He admires..
...as His children that He is proud of..
...as His friends that He loves to be with..
...as His dear ones that are His pride and joy!

A Thought: Humans are not a problem to God; humans are simply children needing help and love.
May the amazing grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, and the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. 2 Co. 13:14
