God sees you, and He loves you.

I want to be honest with you, my reader. For the past two weeks, I have been struggling. It began on the day I met with my oncologist. Believing the word of God, that I am healed, and knowing that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and the fact that I was healed in 2023 of breast cancer diagnosis, I believed this time I would get the report; CLEAR Scans!! But the report came back that the size had shrunk to half the size, which is still incredible, seeing that I had only four treatments. But I was disappointed; I wanted to be done with the treatment.

That’s when some old mental dialog started to stir in my soul (emotions). The enemy was telling me that God’s promises weren’t for me, that I was not ‘praying’ enough, or that I didn’t have enough faith.’ The accuser was accusing me, and I was letting him. Because I know it isn’t by my ‘works,’ and if I have faith as small as a mustard seed, I have enough faith.  

But instead of engaging with the Lord and keeping my eyes on Him, I got lost in the negative dialog.

Then, His light began to break through. Last Friday, I felt the Lord’s love. It was a faint sound I heard in the wind: “I see you, Georgia, and I love you.”

It was a message that was hard for me to hear, to be honest. Saturday, I heard it more clearly, as a dear friend gifted and clothed me with something dear to her. I felt unworthy of this lavish love; to be truthful, I had not been the most pleasant person to be around.

Then, by Sunday morning, gazing into the eyes of my Lord, I could hear even more clearly. I was no longer looking down at my problem but at HIM. “I see you, Georgia, and I love you.”

Allowing these eight simple words to wash over me and wash over my emotions has been healing for me.

Today, Monday, I heard the Lord say, “It isn’t about how you feel, Georgia; it is my word.” I see you (Genisis 16:13), and I love you (Ephesians 3:17-19). Now share it with others.

Know this! God sees YOU, and He loves YOU! We shine brightly to Him even when we don’t “feel” like we do. It’s not like he sees us as tarnished and dull.  Sure, we can be like diamonds that lose their sparkle due to dirt and buildup. But each facet (cut or pain) of our lives will sparkle again as we allow the light to shine through!

Let us brush off that residue and let the light shine on us as we shine outward. I want to communicate that to you today and to remind you of His unwavering love and acceptance. God sees us as a beautiful diamond! And I just want to communicate that to you today.  Let all the blessings the Lord has stored up in heaven for you today bring you much joy.
