This fall, I’ve invited a few friends to share what God is teaching them. I hope their words are an encouragement to you as you continue to awaken to the joy and delight that comes with being a child of God.
Seeing yourself the way God sees you is like looking into a giant magnifying mirror of your entire being.
But He sees you from the perspective of all He made you to be.
He sees all the gifts, purpose, and potential in you, having been put there by the One who not only thought about you before you were born but had a plan for your life.
We too often see only the negative things in ourselves. We painfully observe where we are weak, lacking, or failing. God sees all that too, but He doesn’t consider it all bad.
God sees your weakness as an opportunity for you to trust Him to be strong in you. Your weakness surrendered to God enables you to gain strength from Him beyond anything you could ever have without Him.
God sees whatever you lack as a possibility that you will turn to Him and declare your dependence on Him so He can supply all your needs.
God sees your failure as an invitation for you to walk closely with Him, so He can empower you to accomplish what you couldn’t begin to do on your own.
If you are not certain about all of this, then I invite you to seek God beyond what you ever have before and come to know Him better. The better you know who God really is, the more you will recognize how much you need Him.
And needing Him is always a good thing.
We don’t naturally see ourselves the way God sees us. We see ourselves through our past. Our failures. Our work. Our abilities. Our appearance. Our friends. Our accomplishments. Or lack thereof.
However, God sees you through His perspective of love.
And I want you to see yourself from God’s perspective so you can better understand the love He has for you—and the far-reaching effect His love has on your life when you choose to fully open up to it.
When we receive God’s love, it will ignite your heart, jumpstart your entire being, and energize your mind, soul, and body.

Stormie’s bestselling books on the power of prayer have touched millions of lives. Recent books have taken a closer look at the leading of the Holy Spirit and the call to be a prayer warrior for God. Now Stormie takes a fresh look at another powerful aspect of knowing our Creator…His amazing and great love for us.
We reflect God most clearly when we are motivated by the power of love in all we say and do. But first we have to understand the depth of God’s love for us and receive it. Then we must learn how to effectively express our love for Him.
“One of the many ways we can show our love to God is to deliberately choose to show love to others and in every situation,” says Stormie. “We can only accomplish this with the guidance and enablement of the Holy Spirit. When we do that, God blesses us and transforms our lives in ways we cannot even imagine. And we will have a sense of God’s pleasure toward us that is far more valuable than anything else we may desire. This book is about making that sometimes difficult choice and the rewards that follow.”
Transform your heart, your relationships, and your future as you press into God’s love and let the power of His life and character move through you.
