(Rom 7:22-25)<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paul turned more and more in trust to Jesus, but many of us do not. We turn toward self-hatred, beating ourselves up, and a feeling of hopelessness that we will never change, never be free. We allow lies, the opinions of others, or the wounds of the past to mold and shape us rather than God&#8217;s truth. In the over two decades since I wrote that song, I can honestly say that berating myself has never done an ounce of good. In fact, it&#8217;s done a lot of harm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How God Sees Me<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>So yesterday, you left off with a question to ask Jesus how He sees you. Some of you wrote me the next day, sharing your answers and what Jesus said. Others said they heard Him say nothing at all and wondered if maybe there was something wrong, or that they were going to be left behind in this retreat. No, you won&#8217;t be left behind, but you will be stretched and challenged in the days ahead to discover new things, both about yourself and about God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There could be any number of reasons why some of you heard &#8220;nothing.&#8221; For some, it&#8217;s that we haven&#8217;t learned to hear that small still Voice, or trust it. Others may simply doubt that Jesus would speak to them and don&#8217;t even bother trying to listen. Remember again that He&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva, sans-serif;\">\u2026manifests himself to those who do not disbelieve him.

Read Chapter 1:26 all the way through to the end of Chapter 2. Now, grab your journal and go through this passage again and write down how God sees man and woman whom He created.

But it tells us so much about how the Father sees us, delights in us, trusts us, empowers us, and cares for us. But what does Satan, that serpent say? He is an accuser. He tells you that God has abandoned you; that you are pathetic; that you are hopeless; that you are ugly; that you are dirty; that you are an embarrassment; that you are stupid; that you are an idiot; that you are useless; that you are disgusting; that you are a mistake; that you are unloved; that you are unwanted; that you are not lovable; that you are abandoned; that you are lost; that you are damned&#8230;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So then, whose voice have you been listening to? Which list do you see yourself in more? Are you listening to the Father who created you, or the &#8220;father of lies&#8221;?

(Romans 5:8, 11)<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, Paul tells us that essentially even our sin cannot separate us from God&#8217;s love. Yes, it&#8217;s true that unrepented mortal sin can separate us from <em>eternal life<\/em>, but not from God&#8217;s love.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva, sans-serif;\">What then shall we say to this?

That&#8217;s what His Word says. That&#8217;s what His life said on the Cross. That&#8217;s what He says to you now. It is time for us to stop accusing ourselves with all of Satan&#8217;s lies, stop berating ourselves (which is often a false humility) and humbly accept this great gift of God&#8217;s love. That&#8217;s called faith \u2014 faith that He could love someone like me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pray with the song below, and then pick up your journal and ask Jesus again: &#8220;How do you see me?&#8221; Maybe it is only a word or two. Or an image. Or maybe He will want you to simply reread the truths above. Whatever He says, know from this hour forth, that you are loved, and that nothing can separate you from that love.
