Day 9-- I'm a Treasure!

I have had the lyrics of Forgiven stuck in my head all day and I have really been blessed my meditating on the fact that when God looks at me He doesn't see my sin and my failures and my imperfections. He sees Christ who loved me enough to die for me. I am a child of God and He adores me! That thought just blows my mind. The Creator and Savior of all the world loves ME. 
There's one particular line in the song that says, "When I don't measure up to much in this life, I'm a treasure in the arms of Christ." Not only am I loved by my God, but I am a treasure to Him. Even when I mess up and fail over and over again He still sees me as a treasure.

Forgiven

 

Well the past is playing with my head  

And failure knocks me down again 

I’m reminded of the wrong  

That I have said and done 

And that devil just wont let me forget
 

In this life I know what I’ve been 

But here in your arms I know what I am
I’m forgiven I’m forgiven  

And I don’t have to carry  

The weight of who I’ve been  

 Cause I’m forgiven

My mistakes are running through my mind  

And I’ll relive my days, in the middle of the night  

When I wrestle with my pain, struggle with my pride 

Sometimes I feel alone, and I cry

When I don't think and I don’t feel like I belong anywhere  

When I don’t measure up to much in this life  

Oh, I’m a treasure in the arms of Christ
