day 70 (week 10, day 7)
Published July 14th, 2008 in reflectRead Isaiah 43:1. What you are in the sight of God is what you are, no more, no less. Can you rest in that?
Dad, I long to see myself (and others) daily through your eyes of unconditional love. I am still learning the freedom and rest in that fact. I rest there more today. Amen.
Yes, we look at ourselves through natural eyes, and often it is hard for me to look at
this shell that is perishing day by day and knowing my corruptible mind and find anything
to love. But God is a spirit and He looks not on the outward man but looks into the inward
parts of us and sees our hearts and what He sees and loves is the born-again, redeemed
spirit that now resides within. Whew! thank goodness. : )
