He looks deep into your heart and sees your desire to do good and your longing to be all that He created you to be. He sees beyond your weakness as you get sidetracked with the things of this world. He sees the fervent intent of your heart for which He credits you with righteousness, despite your outward behavior which sometimes contradicts your heart's intent.
He sees your destiny and who you are to become as you are molded and shaped in His image by the work of His Spirit.
He sees beauty in you that no other can see for He sees the beauty of your spirit.
He sees you as His lovely bride that is spotless and unblemished without flaw or wrinkle. He sees today exactly who you will become on that day of His great feast. In His loving eyes you are already that glorious one.
He sees how you struggle for purity and to walk uprightly. He sees beyond those moments when you might fall on your journey and sees you as victorious as you someday will become.
He sees your every act of kindness and plans your reward for those things done in secret, that He finds so precious. He sees every cup of cold water given and each word of encouragement you have spoken and His heart swells with pride for you. He sees those little deeds that you have deemed insignificant and He magnifies them as He shows the Father how well you are doing.
He sees your brokenness with eyes of compassion. The tears that you endure fill His eyes.
All of your concerns are ever before His eyes. Never does He turn His eyes from you for He is captivated by the beauty that He sees in you. He watches over you with the eyes of a jealous and protective Daddy watching over His young.
He sees you when you rise and when you are asleep. He sees you when you come and when you go. With eyes of pure love He gazes at you and cherishes you.
He saw you when you were yet a sinner and He saw qualities in you that invigorated His heart and He was compelled to pursue you for His own. With His eyes He saw the cross as a small price to pay to have companionship with you. As He hung with His arms stretched out, nailed to the cross He looked at you with eyes full of mercy and said, "I do this for you for the joy set before Me!"
His eyes have never looked back with regret. Wherever you are this day, He is still looking at you with the same eyes of grace and mercy as He did on that day. Consider His beauty! Consider His love for you! Just consider!
Consider the Lord's head for a moment. Gaze upon Him.
His head is full of wisdom making perfect decisions in administering your life; thinking about each and every detail of all that concerns you. He knows where you are every second of every day. He takes all of your concerns before the Father interceding in your behalf day and night. At the same time He holds the universe together by His very thoughts, His eye is also upon you. He created everything in heaven and on the earth. Not one bird falls from the sky without Him knowing.
All understanding and all wisdom is in Him, working all things for good in your life. He never changes His mind concerning you, even on your bad days, even when you struggle with weak flesh and sin. On those days He thinks about who you are to become, that beautiful bride without spot or blemish.
He knows your weakness because He came in the flesh to accomplish what you could not. He never forgets any detail of your life. He knows the very instant you were born and He rejoiced at that moment. He knows all of your favorite things, your favorite color, what makes you smile, what makes you laugh, what makes you cry. He knows every hair on your head, and your very DNA, for He designed you for His pleasure. Your hopes, your dreams, your secret thoughts. And, yes He still never changes His mind about you.
He considers the desires of your heart to walk uprightly and He credits you for His righteousness. He knows your needs before you speak them. He answers before you call.
He has planned your rescue before you stumble. He endured the sweating of blood in the garden, so that you did not have to endure what you deserved. He willingly gave Himself to the centurions, so you could be free.
He took your stripes on His back that you may be healed. Determined to secure you for His own, He committed Himself to pay whatever the price required. It required everything that He had.
Consider His head, scarred by the crown of jagged thorns that you should have worn.
