How God Sees us

A beautiful write up... I love this...just flip through it

*WISE WORDS*

```In life, some may walk, others may run, but remember the Lord gave the tortoise and the horse the same days to reach Noah's ark. Your journey might be rough and tough but you will definitely get to your destination.
Jacob looked at Joseph and saw a good son! The ten brothers looked at Joseph and saw a useless dreamer! The travellers looked at Joseph and saw a slave!! Potiphar looked at Joseph and saw a fine servant!! Potiphar's wife looked at Joseph and saw a potential boyfriend! The prison officers saw in Joseph a prisoner! How wrong were all of them! God looked at Joseph and saw a Prime Minister of Egypt in waiting!! Don't be discouraged by what people see in you!! Be encouraged by what God sees in you!! Never underrate the person next to you because you never know what the Lord has deposited in that person. Your maid may be a Chief Executive Officer in waiting for a company which shall employ your child. Your garden-boy may be a president in waiting. (Remember David got the anointing of becoming a King while he was a simple child herding sheep. Esther was a simple orphaned girl yet she was a Queen in waiting). Let's share God's love and make the world a better place to live. Show that love by sharing this message with those you love.
IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW PEOPLE SEE YOU, IT MATTERS HOW GOD SEES YOU
God is God:
๐ŸฝHe doesn't care about *age*, no wonder he blessed Abraham.
๐ŸฝHe doesn't care about *experience*, no wonder he chose David.
๐ŸฝHe doesn't care about *gender,* no wonder he lifted Esther.
๐ŸฝHe doesn't care about *your past*, no wonder he called Paul.
๐ŸฝHe doesn't care about *your physical appearance*, no wonder he chose Zacchaeus
(the shortest one).
๐ŸฝHe doesn't care about *fluency in speech* , no wonder he chose Moses.
๐ŸฝHe doesn't care about *your career*, no wonder he choose Mary Magdalene; a prostitute. 
All I know is that my God never changes
๐ŸฝHe never made *a promise he wouldn't keep*๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿพ
He never saw *a person he wouldn't help*๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿพ
๐ŸฝHe never heard *a prayer he wouldn't answer*๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿพ
๐Ÿ–ผHe never found *a soul he wouldn't love*๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿพ
๐ŸฝHe never found *a sinner he wouldn't forgive*๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿพ
This is the kind of God I would like to commune with every day the moment I wake up. I strongly recommend Him to you.```

A God who hears our cry

In my distress I called to the Lord . . . . My cry came to his ears. 2 Samuel 22:7

Iam at my best when in Christ


When King David was in need, he found this type of loving care in God. Second Samuel 22 (and Psalm 18) records his song of praise to God for the ways He had been a refuge for him throughout his life. He recalled, “In my distress I called to the Lord; I called out to my God. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came to his ears” (2 Samuel 22:7). God had delivered him from his enemies, including King Saul, many times. He praised God for being his fortress and deliverer in whom he took refuge (vv. 2–3).

While our distresses may be small in comparison to David’s, God welcomes us to run to Him to find the shelter we long for. His arms are always open. Therefore we “sing the praises of [His] name” (v. 50)


Prayer

God, I’m grateful You’ve always been and will always be my secure place to land.

I will be with you

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you. Isaiah 43:2


Judah needed a God who would help, who would rescue and not forsake them. Imagine, then, the surging hope when the people heard God’s assurance: “Do not be afraid, for I am with you” (Isaiah 43:5). Whatever calamity they faced or trouble they would endure, He would be with them. He would “pass through the waters” with them, leading them to safety (v. 2). He would “walk through the fire” with them, helping them through the scorching flames (v. 2).

Throughout Scripture, God promises to be with His people, to care for us, guide us, and never abandon us—whether in life or death. Even when you find yourself in difficult places, God is with you. He’ll help you pass through the waters.
