How God Really Sees You
This devotional is part of a post on picking the best wall color for white cabinets.
After writing this post, it made me think about how there are hundreds of shades of white. They have all different undertones of gray, green, and even pink.
It made me wonder if there is a true, perfect white, but once again, I’m reminded that true perfection doesn’t exist apart from our Heavenly Father.
The only way to get anywhere close to perfection is through Him…
“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” Isaiah 1:18
God knew you could never be perfect. Only Jesus was, which is why God sent Him to save you in ways you could never save yourself. If you have a relationship with Christ, His spotless Son has redeemed you, washing away 100 percent of your sin so that you are perfect in His eyes.
When God looks at you, He doesn’t see your flaws and shortcomings; He only sees His Son’s righteousness.
He looks at you as freshly fallen snow – untouched, unblemished, and untainted by any undertones of this chaotic world.
We can’t do anything to make God love us more or love us less since our relationship status has been taken care of solely through Christ’s finished work on our behalf.
He doesn’t see the dirty dishes, the untouched to-do list, or even the fact that your home looks like a frat house. He sees YOU, your struggles, and what is heavy on your heart.
He looks at you as a proud Father who wants you to bring every one of your concerns to Him.
If you feel like you aren’t quite measuring up in life, you’re right. You can’t. But by having a relationship with Him, he is perfect on our behalf.
Let Him fill you up and show you that as a child of God, you are now and forever made perfect in Him! YOU ARE ENOUGH!
