Message for July 25, 2021 from Pastor Shirley

God sees you with eyes of love. Before we ever loved him he loved us and had his eyes on us for his very own.   
When we were utterly helpless, with no way of escape, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners who had no use for him. Even if we were good, we really wouldn’t expect anyone to die for us, though, of course, that might be barely possible. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. ROMANS 8:6-8
How do we look at ourselves?  Sometimes it is hard to see who He has said we are looking through our eyes.  Looking through His eyes things will look a lot differently.  Do you feel safe, loved, hopeful in your relationship with God?  When we have doubts about how God feels about us, life can feel uncertain.      

THROUGH FATHER’S EYES
I never thought I would move beyond the past  That I would never be free from the voices in my head  From what I could see I didn’t like myself much  And I would forever be bound  I heard the Good News for those who would be believe  I found freedom from the One who paid the price for me   I read from the Word about who I am  The Truth began to chase away the lies about my worth  With His spirit now alive in me I am beginning to love what I see  Looking through my Father’s eyes
