[Discoveries] 05-30-07 Already righteous

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has 
gone, the new has come! -- 2 Corinthians 5:17*/

Here's the third paradigm shift: We are already righteous.

At first this may seem to contradict everything I said yesterday. But it 
does not.

When God sees us, He sees righteous men and women, holy saints, children 
of God, seated in heavenly places.

What gives? Is God blind? Is He living in some kind of Divine denial?

No.

God sees what is not always altogether evident to us. God likes us and 
He can receive our honesty because He, better than anybody else, knows 
who we really are. Others see the dirt; He sees the diamond. He knows 
what He has created inside us. He knows the core of who we are -- 
righteous, holy, Christ-like, courageous, indestructible.

Now here's the catch: God needs to do His miraculous work in us, so that 
we can see it too. We need God to put ointment in our eyes so that we 
can see -- see Him, see His love for us, see who we really are.

So that is my prayer for you and me today -- may God open our eyes to see.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
