But when He looks at us, it is through a lens of possibility and redemption, as though we are at our best - in the light of His forgiveness and favor.
He is so firm in His assessment and so confident in His love that/because His Son, Jesus, paid our way and made a way.
He IS the Way. Our acceptance of this gift secures our own acceptance.
Why in the world would we stoop to seek the approval of man?
