See You As God Sees

Just like the song So Close by Mary Mary, there are many times when we see ourselves as not worthy of God’s love. We see ourselves as failures and like we can never get in touch with what God has planned for us. This is only carnal thinking.

God is an ever merciful God, one who draws us back no matter how many times we disrespect and take advantage of His love and mercy. In His word, God has given us very many clues as to how He sees us.

Although we look down on ourselves, it is only the way God sees us that matters therefore it is right for us to ask God to open our eyes so we can see us the way He sees us. If we want to be sure of how God sees us, let’s take a look of the beautiful and wonderful names God addresses us with in His word. When going through these names, let’s also try to personalize them by saying “I am…”

He sees me as:

·         His Beloved

·         His Special Possession

·         A Holy Nation

·         The Light of the World (Matt. 5:13)

·         The Salt of the Earth (Matt. 5:14)

·         God’s friend

·         Fearfully and Wonderfully made (Ps. 139:14)

·         Victorious

·         A Chosen Generation
