At times, we’re our own worst critic. We feel guilty about our
mistakes and question our abilities. As we condemn our shortcomings, our
amazing Heavenly Father is seeing us from a whole different viewpoint. He’s
looking at us as how a loving parent looks at their child, but much better. Christian musical artist, Jason Gray, delves into everything it means to have our worth seen through the
microscope of Heaven in his song “Remind
Me Who I Am.”
When I lose my way,
And I forget my name,
Remind me who I am.
In the mirror all I see,
Is who I don't wanna be,
Remind me who I am.
In the loneliest places,
When I can't remember what grace is.
Tell me once again who I am to You,
Who I am to You.
Tell me lest I forget who I am to You,
That I belong to You.
When my heart is like a stone,
And I'm running far from home,
Remind me who I am.
When I can't receive Your love,
Afraid I'll never be enough,
Remind me who I am.
If I'm Your beloved,
Can You help me believe it.
Tell me once again who I am to You,
Who I am to You, whoa.
Tell me lest I forget who I am to You.
That I belong to You.

Beautiful: Beauty
is not what we look like on the outside. It’s the beauty within our heart
that God values. When He looks at each of us, He sees our goodness shine
through. He sees our faith, and our desire to follow Him. He sees that even
when we failed to adhere to His commandments, we tried. He sees when
we’re genuinely sorry and when we repent. This is all beauty to Him. God
sees you as beautiful. Do you?
2.
Capable:
God blessed and entrusted each of us with amazing gifts to use to
glorify Him and share His Word. He entrusted that gift to us. Maybe it’s the
gift of singing, dancing, teaching, nurturing, or speaking. Whatever the
gift is, we must use it to minister. Our gifts are important enough that God
assigned it to us. He obviously believes in us. God sees you as capable. Do
you?
3.
Precious: God
cares so much about you that He doesn’t want to lose you to sin. So he
continues to hold out for a change in your heart. When you do change your
heart, turn from your sin and live according to His Word, He is truly a joy.
God sees you as precious. Do you?
4.
Relevant: There is
a reason for each one of us. There is a plan. We are an integral part
of His whole, and we are each as relevant as every other person that
ever existed (including every apostle, saint, or king). We all have the same
potential to make a huge impact. God sees you as relevant. Do you?
5.
Worthy: We are
worthy of His desire to have a relationship with Him. We are worthy of His
amazing forgiveness whenever we ask for it with sincerity, no matter what the
sin. We are worthy of God’s most amazing sacrifice. He sent His only son to die
for us? We’re worthy enough to share happiness with Him in Heaven. God
sees you as worthy. Do you?
“If I could give you one thing in life, I would give you the ability to
see yourself through my eyes, only then will you realize how special you are to
me.” (Anonymous) [i]
