How does God see you?

When you look in a mirror do you see yourself the same way that God sees you? I imagine most people are taken up with their grey hairs, receding hair line, bad hair day, spare tires etc. etc. We tend to compare ourselves to others and often focus on our faults and weaknesses.

Despite all that, in God's eyes we are his workmanship, his work of art and his poem. God sees us in Christ (1 Cor 1:30; Gal 3:27), righteous (2 Cor 5:21), forgiven (Col 1:14) and as his children (1 John 3:20).  

In Psalm 8:5 (and Heb 2:7) (KJV) it says that God has crowned us: “with glory and honor”. The Hebrew word for glory is chabod and its meaning includes: splendor, magnificence glory, dignity, honor, and excellence. The Hebrew for honor is hadar which means an ornament of splendor and magnificent decoration. Also, in Isaiah. 61:10 it says we are clothed with the garments of salvation and the robe of righteousness. This is how God sees us, so next time you look in the mirror remember that you are God’s work of art and his child, no matter what the mirror is telling you.
