IN MY FATHERS EYES

Roy Storkson In The Father's Eyes How can I feel worthless, unclean and useless, fearful and afraid when that’s not how I’m made? Rom.8:15, Is.44:2,21 God fearfully and wonderfully made me in His image. He formed and fashioned every part including mind and soul and heart. Gen.1:26-27, Ps.33:15, 119:73, 139:13-16 He tells me in His Word I am clean, forgiven, righteous; righteous with God’s righteousness, for in His Son I have acceptance. Eph.1:6, Col.1:14, Rom.3:21-24, 2Cor.5:21 I am precious in His sight, chosen as His Bride. He loves me and I stand in the centre of His plan. Eph.5:30-32, Is.43:4, 54:5,10, 62:5, Rom.8:28 He is a faultless, faithful Husband; to my soul the one, true Lover. Intimately He knows me; to Him I’m truly lovely. Hos.2:16,19-20, Ps.89:33-34, Rom.8:35,38-39, 1John 4:16 His delight is ever in me; my good He always seeks. I’m the apple of His eye; as well, I am His child. Is.62:4-5, Zeph.3:17, Jer.32:40-41, Rom.8:28, Deut.32:10, Ps.17:8, Jn.1:12 He is my loving Father, but also is my Brother. He speaks to me as His Friend; not one promise will be broken. Rom.8:16, Matt.6:8, 5:18, Heb.2:11, Jn.15:15, Is.40:8 I’m the daughter of the King; I wear His clothes and ring, a symbol of His Spirit given to make me beautiful within. Ps.45:13-14, Luke 15:21-22 He promises the hope of Heaven, a place prepared, reserved for me to share in the wedding feast. What glory that will be! John 14:2-3, 1Pet.1:4, Rev.19:7-9, Eph.1:18 He calls me by my name, assures me I am His, that He’ll never leave me nor forsake however hard the path I take. Is.43:1-2, Ps.9:10, Heb.13:5-6 He’s my Shepherd; I’m His sheep; faithfully He leads and keeps. I’m held in the hollow of His hand. Complete in Him, I take my stand. Ps.23, John 10:14, 27-28,Is.49:16,Col.2:9-10 No one can condemn me, accuse me to my Father, for Jesus is my Saviour; also He’s my Defender. Rom.8:1, 33-34 If I do not understand just how special that I am, it’s because I’ve blocked my ears, doubt or won’t believe, fooled by the lies and glitter of treacherous, false lovers; thus an adulteress, idolater, scorning my soul’s true Lover. Heb.2:1, 3:12-15, Jer.3:1,8,14 But still when I am faithless, He remains so very faithful and tenderly and jealously, persistently seeks and woos me into His warm embrace, back from the desert place. 2Tim.2:13, Hos.11:4, 2:14, Deut.32:10
