How God Sees You
See Yourself How God Sees You
Much of your happiness in life depends on how you think God sees you.
Sadly, many of us have a wrong idea of God's opinion of us. We base it on what we've been taught, our bad experiences in life, and many other assumptions. We may think God is disappointed in us or that we'll never measure up. We may even believe God is angry with us because we can't stop sinning.
But if we want to know the truth, we need to go to the source: God himself.
God tells you how he sees you in his personal message to his followers, the Bible. What you can learn in those pages about your relationship with him is nothing short of amazing.
God Sees You as His Beloved Child
If you are a Christian, you are not a stranger to God. You are not an orphan, even though you may sometimes feel alone. The heavenly Father loves you and sees you as one of his children:
"'I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters,' says the Lord Almighty." (2 Corinthians 6:17-18, NIV)
"How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!" (1 John 3:1, NIV)
No matter how old you are, it's comforting to know that you are a child of God. You belong to a loving, protective Father. God, who is everywhere, keeps watch over you and is always ready to listen when you want to talk with him.
But the privileges don't stop there. Since you've been adopted into the family, you have the same rights as Jesus:
"Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory." (Romans 8:17, NIV)
Father, thank you for making me your child. Thank you for adopting me. Thank you for making me heirs with Christ I love God amen.
