Yesterday at a church Prayer Teams meeting (our small group of teams of 2 who fast & pray 1 day each week for people's confidential requests), we usually discuss how things are going in terms of being consistent with our weekly prayer times & fasting, we share struggles, & remind each other that God's grace is overflowing for us each & every time we err. Someone had a really cool picture, or 2 pictures that went together: First, he saw God the way we think He looks at us - with binoculars, inspecting every little mistake or error we make. Then he saw God as He really is, just looking at us without binoculars. He sees us as we are but He's not picking us apart error by error. He just looks upon us with love. :) Cool.
