1 John 3:1 - "Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God; therefore the world knows us not, because it knew Him not."
You are My beloved. When I see you, I do not see you the way you see yourself. I see you through the eyes of a loving Father..eyes that have searched the deepest part of you..eyes that have known you from a time before you were even in the womb.
Nothing could ever separate you from Me...not tribulation, not distress, not persecution, not famine, not nakedness, not peril of any kind...not even sword. If you are feeling separate from Me, that simply is not the truth. I am still here.
When I look upon you, I see a child who is victorious. I never see you as a victim because that's not who you are. You are an overcomer, because you are in Me. You are My child..called by My name. I will keep you in perfect peace when your focus is solidly fixed on Me.
I see you crowned in righteousness, and I see you wearing that crown with dignity, and with trust. When I look deep into your soul, I see a trophy..a trophy of grace. I see you resting in My love. I see you rejoicing that your name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
I see you as Mine...the child who I fully love..the same way that you love your child. Today, remember the love that your Heavenly Father has bestowed upon you. There is surely nothing greater.
