We’ve all heard the ominous warning, “God’s watching you.”
Maybe that’s true, but not in the way you were taught. God really can’t take His eyes off of you – He loves you that much. You’re that precious.
God never loves you less – no matter what.
God doesn’t love you as you should be, could be, ought to be.
God just loves you as you are.
It’s easier to focus on rules, to focus on “earning” God’s love.
Everything we do is in response to God’s love – not to earn it.
God sees in you a reflection of His own Love. A reflection that’s different than anyone else who’s ever lived.
When we look at our reflection, we see the blemishes –
All the things we aren’t.
That’s not what God sees!
He can see the blemishes, too, But that’s not what He looks at.
He sees his beautiful child that He loves.
We don’t want to be a lot of things we’ve become, but we are.
We need Compassion – for owning our own humanness and loving others who are human too.
