Ephesians ****:****/God sees me as blameless .. sigh

[tad-pole]

My spiritual goal for this year is to see myself as God sees me. I've been a Christian for thirty two years. But I do not see myself as God sees me. (but then .. if I did would I be struggling with eating disorders? recovered maybe ... but I'm still struggling.

Ephesians ****:**** says

(amplified) Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the word that we should be holy [consecrated and set apart for Him] and blameless in His sight EVEN above reproach, before Him in love.

God sees me as holy, and blameless. Above reproach.

But I see me as imperfect, lazy, ugly, and yes fat. I see my faults, I see how far I have to go. I don't understand how God could love me. I know that He doesn't see me the way I see me. If I didn't then I'd have to believe that I'm the one exception to the Bible and I don't.

So ... how do I get to the point of seeing myself as God sees me?

You're such an awesome friend. I wish You could see you the way I see you.

That we BOTH could see us the way others and God see's us ... that'll be my prayer!
