Ephesians 1:4 "Long ago even before He made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in His eyes."
"God's primary goal is to make us holy- that is, to form His character in us. Looking through the eyes of love, He already sees us as we will be when His work is done. Then He works out His goals for us in the arena of everyday life." Recovery Bible
The eyes of God
see me
as I long to be
So far from His vision
I press on
faultering in my weakness
His gentle hands
pick me up daily
embracing the child within
Bless me with your loving heart
May my thoughts be pure and holy
in your sight
May my actions display the character
that you continue to build
in this sinful vessel
My only hope is in your power
to change me
and your grace
to forgive me
when I falter
Blessed saving grace
