A phrase we often use when describing ourselves is “I am.”
For many, when we look at ourselves and describe what we see, it is not what God intends. We see ourselves through the lens of the way life has shaped us rather than the vison God has of us. We need the corrective lens of God’s word guided by His Holy Spirit to correct our vision.
You might ask, “What would be different about the way God sees me than the way I see myself?” Quite simply, God knows all there is to know about you. He knows you better than you know yourself. When God sees you, He sees you through the filter of His plans for you—and His plans are significant.
When you see yourself through the eyes of God, He enables you to finish the phrase beginning with “I am” in a different way. This book challenges you to complete the thought using the same language to describe yourself God would use.
Once you see yourself through the eyes of God, this vision will set you up for success, giving you an outward focus and purposeful excitement as you wake up every morning.
