I’ve seen way too much evidence that God is NOT dead, and He sees me right where I am today, and I know His love for me is vast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve experienced way too many of God’s blessings, and I know they didn’t come to me by happenstance or coincidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve been loved so much that it’s the story of my life. I\u2019ve been up. I\u2019ve been down. But, I have had this ONE Who has been the Hero of my ups and downs. He has been my Hero more times than I could count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though our stories are different, I want the most important part of my story to be yours, too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want it to change everything — including how you look at God, and yourself, and other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want you to live in confidence that when God looks at you, He sees beauty.
He sees value.
He sees hope.
He sees a precious treasure beyond compare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And when you’re hiding, or when you feel so beaten down, and you can’t see anything clearly, He’s still hard at work, crafting for you a beautiful future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He sees you. He loves you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are precious and honored in God\u2019s eyes. Isaiah 43:4 says, \u201cSince you are precious and honored in my sight and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life.\u201d God loves you so much that He would exchange nations for your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are fearfully and wonderfully made. Psalm 139:13-14 says, \u201cFor You created my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother\u2019s womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful; I know that full well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isn\u2019t that amazing? God knew you before you were even born. He took the time to design what you looked like, who you would be, your passions and talents. It\u2019s mindboggling just thinking about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are made new in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:17 states, \u201cTherefore if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here!\u201d When you dedicate your life to Christ, you are made new in Him. Your slate is wiped clean and any mistakes that you have made that you think are unforgivable, are forgiven by Him. You are as pure as snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He takes delight in you. Zephaniah 3:17 says, \u201cThe Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in His love, He will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did you hear that? He loves YOU. He enjoys spending time with you and takes delight in everything you do. Those passions He put in your heart are from Him and He loves watching you live them out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are ALL so loved by Almighty God \u2013 doesn\u2019t that amaze you? It sure amazes me! God sees us. God loves us. THAT is AMAZING!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
