Flawless in His Eyes

Flawless in His eyes
That is what I am, that is who I am
To the Father...

Yes, when He looks at me
He sees flawless, nothing missing...

"Oh," you say,
"How can that be? No one is."

But the fact remains
For those who have believed and embraced His Son, Jesus...
He sees them as flawless...

He tells me this
When I am feeling condemned
For my lack of patience, my complaining spirit, for my lack of discipline...
"I see you as flawless!"

"But God," I argue,
"It seems like I am never victorious in these areas."

"But I see you as flawless, beauty itself..." He repeats.
"You see," He continues,
"When I look at you, I see Jesus.
 I transferred My righteousness to you when you believed and embraced My Son, Jesus
 That is who you are, my child, you are righteous.
 No, it's not your righteousness...
 It is My righteousness that I transferred to you
 Because you believed in My Son.
 My Son took all the punishment for your sin.
 He received the curses, the condemnation, the shame you deserved.
 It has all been judged by Me,
 And you, my child, are acquitted!!!"

"I cannot change My verdict." He whispered,
"Because My righteousness cannot be lifted from you.
 We are joined together, cemented...
 I cannot break covenant."

"But, But, But..." I respond

"It is all a mystery of My grace to you my precious child," He continues.
"I declare you flawless!"
