What does God think of you...his creation?

Good Day!

Indeed, God created you . . . 

and as you have submitted your will to his, he has re-created you.  You are a new creation!  

That said, how does God view you?  

Take a look at David's words about how God viewed him:

 O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.  You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.  You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.  Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.  You hem me in—behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,  too lofty for me to attain.

 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?  If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.  If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.  I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.  My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. ?When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!  Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. ?When I awake, I am still with you.

 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.  See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.  (most of Psalm 139)

'Hard to imagine how intimately God knows us ... and what amazes me, is that he loves me anyway!  

Do you think that you just can't talk to God about certain things?  Oh please, he already knows your thoughts before you think them.  Just go to him.  Hear the Master say, "Come.  Come just as you are, and let me love you.  There is nowhere you can go, nowhere you can run, that will take you away from me, or out from under my watchful eye.  You see, I love you.  You are my creation, and I love you just as you are."

Those are just a few of your Father's thoughts toward you, my dear ones.
