very, very good...

Intecessors of the Lamb - Teachings

"In the book of Genesis we watch God creating His entire universe and everything upon earth and it keeps saying "And He made this and He saw that it was good, and then this and He saw it was good." But then when He made man in His image and His likeness, the Scripture says, "He saw that it was very good." We have to remember that God sees us as we really are and we are very, very good. It does not mean that He does not want us to get through these problems. It does not mean that He does not want to touch and heal our pain, our hurt, deep in our desire for Him. It means that He wants us to open our hearts, so that we can be fully who we really are, His little children, made in the image and likeness of the entire Trinity and that we can come to see ourselves, and others also, as very, very good. Unless this happens, I do not think we can live out the new commandment to truly love one another as He has loved us, because He loves us without any conditions, just as we are."
