There’s a popular Christian song called The Truth sung by Megan Woods. I like listening to this song, and the lyrics resonate with me. But I was really dialing in on the lyrics, and something caught my attention, and I began to ponder.
The line in the chorus reads: “The truth is I am my Father’s child. I make Him proud, and I make Him smile. I was made in the image of a perfect King. He looks at me and wouldn’t change a thing. The truth is, I am truly loved by a God who’s good when I’m not good enough. I don’t belong to the lies, I belong to You. And that’s the truth.”
I mean no disrespect to this song or its composers, but the bold text above is what caused me to stop and ponder. Yes, I am made in the image of a perfect King, but when He looks at me, does He really not see anything that could or should be changed? Because I am covered by the blood of Jesus, that’s what God sees when He looks at me. In this sense, He wouldn’t change a thing.
I know that I am a sinner, saved by grace. I still sin. I still repent and ask for forgiveness. So the question is this: When God looks at me, would He really not see things that need to be changed?
What are your thoughts as you ponder this statement? I would love to hear your feedback.
