Gods view

Have you ever been at a time in your life where you had time to think? And when you had time to think you often pondered on how God views my life? What does God think of my life right now? Those are definitely some tough questions that can bring some tough answers sometime, but let's see what it says in scripture about this particular subject of God's view of yourself and how he made you. Psalm 139:1-14 says,

"O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord. You hem me in--behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. For you created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."

Amazing! As we look at our lives sometimes we look at the negatives of how we were created or the way we were made. How did David see his life when he wrote this. He was vulnerable before God and really found out how much God loved him. He was in awe of how God saw him and how God viewed his life. We need to be vulnerable under God and realize how much love and passion God has for us. Its just astonishing how Great our God is! He knows every thought, knows every action, and its so amazing how much he wants to be involved in our lives! David was so overwhelmed by how much God loved him. The challenge is allowing yourself to be vulnerable and seeing God for who He really is and how He created you! Do not look at the negatives of your life, but be vulnerable and allow God to show you what He wants for your life and let Him lead it! Let Him show you why He created you for who you are. Do not listen to what the world says about you! When this happens and you listen to God's view, it will be like what David saw, the everlasting love of God!
