Seeing Who I Am Through My Father's Eyes

"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace, And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.  And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." Colossians 3:12-17 NIV 
Realizing that we are often the only Bible some people read, if we talk the talk then we must walk the walk and be who we profess to be....Christians(true followers of Jesus Christ), sharing Jesus in Love!  Not thinking ourselves better than others, but being kind one to another, living a peaceful, loving, honorable life that brings glory to the kingdom of our Lord Jesus. If someone offends us, we must be quick to forgive instead of letting it take root and fester, causing bitterness to separate us. It takes being determined within our mind to forgive others as God forgave us; remembering where He has brought us from and where we are today, all because of His Divine Love and Amazing Grace! Instead of holding grudges or unforgiveness, we must guard our hearts and minds with all diligence, so we go about our Father's business sharing love and hope to a lost and dying world, so they can come to know Jesus and the fullness of 
Holy Spirit working within to grow us all into the loving nature He intended us to share one to another. 
You don't have to be someone special to do His will, you just have to be You! That unique person God created you to be! He created in each of us a will to choose and as we choose to follow Him, He abides within and leads our way! Sense His presence within you--giving you strength, giving you peace, empowering you with His strength for the tasks before you. Remind yourself Whose you are! You are the child of the Most High God through Christ Jesus! You can do all things through Christ Who strengthens you(Philippians 4:13). You are blessed and highly favored; You are the head and not the tail, You are above and not beneath(Deuteronomy 28:1-14) You are Loved with an everlasting love(Jeremiah 31:3) and there is nothing that can separate you from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus(Romans 8:38,39). Your daddy is Abba Father(Romans 8:15, Galatians 4:6);  you are the apple of His eye(Zechariah 2:8); and there is Nothing too hard for Him(Jeremiah 32:27)
When you begin to see yourself through your Father's eyes, you will realize that you are truly loved beyond measure, unconditionally, for all time sake! Forever and ever, you are His child and He desires only the Best for you, You just need to take time to get to know Him and listen as He guides you lovingly along your way, one step at a time. I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day, because God loves you and so do I~~~
