How
God Sees You
Where
you see
A
weak sapling, bending in the wind,
Near
breaking from fierce storms,
Your
Father sees
A
strong oak, roots travelling deep,
Drinking
long from the springs of life
That
flow from His throne.
Mighty,
majestic,
Offering
shade and rest
To
many weary ones.
Where
you see
A
sickly waif, barely covered in rags,
Almost crippled with the pain
Of
past regrets
And
soul-piercing arrows from the evil one,
Sent
to destroy your destiny,
Jesus
sees a princess
Standing
erect and healthy.
Bright
eyes and hopeful heart aglow,
Radiating
His glory,
Basking
in His love and beauty.
You
are destined for success.
You
are made in His image.
Creative,
strong, brave of spirit.
You
are precious to Him
For
He is your true Father,
Your
eternal source,
Your
life and crown and joy.
If
you believe Him
More
than anyone,
If
you hear His voice of love
And
value
You
will soon, but perhaps not suddenly
See
you
As
He sees you.

Do you sometimes find it challenging to believe what Jesus thinks of you, rather than trusting your own thoughts or feelings? Me too.

ReplyDeleteHi Jeanette! Yay to Lynn!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a huge encouragement this post is, thank you! Of course, I often feel less than who Jesus sees, I think that's only human. But Scriptures are filled with the truth. We are daughters and sons of the Most High. We are royalty!
Have a great week :)
