Have you ever wondered what you look like in Gods eyes? There is so much more to God\u2019s view of us than meets the eye. He loves us more than we can ever explain, imagine or even fathom. Have you ever had days where you felt like you shouldn\u2019t pray or speak to God? Have there ever been days where you didn\u2019t want to go to church because you were angry, or even felt unworthy to be in God’s presence? Well if you have, you\u2019re not alone and if you haven\u2019t, then there will surely be days where those feelings will creep into your heart and mind.
\nA Christian artist by the name Mark Schultz, gives us a glimpse into how our Father views us, especially when we are on the verge of giving up in life, and when we are doubting ourselves. The lyrics are as follows:
\nFirst verse: \u201cTomorrow she\u2019ll be turning 17. But somehow now the mirror has become her enemy. Feeling like she\u2019ll never measure up. Feeling like she\u2019ll never be enough. Chorus: But in her Father\u2019s eyes, He\u2019s taken by her beauty. And captivated by her every time. In her Father\u2019s eyes, He\u2019s longing just to tell her, she\u2019s never been more lovely in her life. If only she could see herself one time, in her Father\u2019s eyes.\u201d
\nAs a girl who can relate to this, the first verse hits home for me. Have you ever felt as though you\u2019d never measure up or be enough? We all have at one point or another. But in God\u2019s eyes, you\u2019re beautiful and God is captivated by you. He loves you more than anyone else and He is longing to tell you how He sees you and that you\u2019ve never been more amazing than you are, right here, right now. Even in the times when you feel like giving up, God will bring you through it. When you look at yourself in the mirror and don\u2019t see anything or anyone worthwhile, never believe that lie, because you are more than worth it to your Father in Heaven.
\nSecond verse: \u201cHe\u2019s on the edge of giving up tonight. He\u2019s feeling like he\u2019s wasted the best days of his life. Afraid he\u2019ll never be the man he thought that he could be. When he looks inside he\u2019s so ashamed of who he sees. [Chorus]: But in his Father\u2019s eyes he is a son of glory. The image of a strong and mighty king. In his Father\u2019s eyes, there\u2019s more left in the story. He\u2019s fighting hard to hold back tears of pride. If only he could see himself tonight. In his Father\u2019s eyes.\u201d
\nEveryone has felt like giving up in life. There isn\u2019t anyone who hasn\u2019t felt like they\u2019ve wasted the best days of their life. If you\u2019re thinking and afraid that you\u2019ll never be the person you thought you\u2019d be, tell yourself to rethink it and tell yourself that you can and that you will become the person you want to be. It is hard to feel so ashamed that you don\u2019t want to try anymore.\u00a0 But don\u2019t let that thought control your thinking every day. It\u2019ll only bring you down.\u00a0\u00a0 You can become anyone you want to be in this life. Don\u2019t let your fear stop you. In your Father\u2019s eyes, you are the son\/daughter of The King of Kings. He values your life. You\u2019re a son and daughter of the most High. There is so much more left in your story. Tell God how you feel about everything and anything in your lie. Confide in Him about your fears and then ask Him to help you conquer those fears.\u00a0 Then surrender those feelings to Him. Whether it is feelings of failure, pain, sorrow, or fear or even, anger at yourself, you can and will rise above it. There is nothing He won\u2019t bring you through.
\nBridge: \u201cSo, no matter where you are. And no matter what you\u2019ve done. You\u2019re not alone. You\u2019re not alone. And no matter where you\u2019ve been. And no matter where you run. Come back home. Come back home.\u201d
\nRemember that nothing you\u2019ve done is too bad for Gods to forgive you for. There is also nothing He can\u2019t bring you through. If God brings you to it, then He will bring you through it.
\n[Chorus]\u201dBecause in your Father\u2019s eyes, you\u2019re loved with such abandon. He\u2019s running to you now arms open wide. In your Father\u2019s eyes, you\u2019re safe and you\u2019re accepted. There\u2019s nothing you can do to change His mind. If only you could see yourself one time. If only you could see yourself one time. In your Father\u2019s eyes. In your Father\u2019s eyes.\u201d
\nGod loves you so much that all He wants is a relationship with you. The lyrics bring into our minds the story, about the prodigal son in Luke 15:17-22. When the son finally came to his senses, he went to his father to beg for forgiveness. While he was still a long way off his father saw him, and ran to him with arms open wide and embraced him. There is nothing He wouldn\u2019t accept you for, and there is nothing He wouldn\u2019t do to have you as His child. You are always worth everything in your Father\u2019s eyes.<\/div>\n
