When God looks over the balconies of Heaven and sees you and me, crippled by sin, broken in the fall of man and hopelessly lost, He looks at us through the eyes of love and says, “I want that one! The one that was crippled by the surgeons of sin, left without any hope for tomorrow.
I’ll take that one…the one that’s been cast off and thrown aside, whose dreams have been crushed by a bitter divorce, a business failure, the death of a spouse, by sickness and disease.
I’ll take the one with a broken heart, the one covered by shame and disgrace. I’ll take the one that has been rejected, the one who thinks his/her life is over. I’ll pay the price. I’ll stand in their place.
I’ll make their lives new. I’ll give them fresh hope, joy unspeakable and the peace that surpasses all understanding. I’ll give them blessings they cannot contain and favor without limit.
“But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”Romans 5:8
“Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you, I give men in return for you, peoples in exchange for your life. Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, and from the west I will gather you.” Isaiah 43:4-5
The point is, God sees YOU through the eyes of love. He’s looking at your potential, not your past! He looks at you and sees a priceless treasure!
Thank you Jesus for wanting me for I have Sinned. Jesus I ask you to forgive me of all my sins and come into my heart. I know you died for me and you rose from the dead to save a sinner like me. Thank You Lord Jesus. Amen!
