1. You think God sees every mistake you've ever made. 2. He sees the person He chose before you even existed. 3. You think God sees someone who keeps falling short. 4. He sees someone covered by a grace with no limits. 5. You think God sees your worst moment. 6. He sees His child. 7. You think God sees the version of you that you're ashamed of. 8. He sees the version of you He’s making you into.

1: God’s kindness isn’t permission to stay the same. It's meant to lead us somewhere. 2: Scripture says, “Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that His kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?” 3: God’s kindness doesn't ignore our sin. Instead, it invites us to turn away from our wrongdoings and draw closer to Him. 4: Every second chance, every new start, every moment of grace is His kindness at work. God is calling you back.
