Holiness in a Bathrobe

What you may see in the mirror as morning disaster is, in reality, a morning miracle. Holiness in a bathrobe!  When God sees us, He also sees Christ.  He sees perfection!  Not perfection earned by us, mind you, but perfection paid for by Him.

Scripture says:  “For God caused Christ, who Himself knew nothing of sin, actually to be sin for our sakes, so that in Christ we might be made good with the goodness of God.” (2 Cor. 5:21)

You are absolutely perfect.  In Christ, you are flawless. Without defect. Unrivaled.  Undeserved yet unreserved perfection.  No wonder heaven applauds when you wake up!  A masterpiece has stirred.

Go ahead, get dressed, shave, comb the hair.  Do it for yourself.  For the sake of your image.  Do it to keep your job. But don’t do it for God.  He’s already seen you as you really are.  And in His book, you’re perfect.
