Seeing myself in God’s eyes

Here are some scripture verses that speak of how God / Jesus sees us.

Read them, and hear them spoken personally to you. You can do this by inserting your name at the ‘_____’. You don’t need to go through them all. Pick any that seem appropriate or touch you. Where one does touch you or seems significant, stay with that – it may be the verse that God is wanting you to hear at this time. Stay with it and let its effect on you sink in, deepen, move you, inspire you…
