Many years ago, I was flying on one of those rare, crystal-clear nights at 33,000 feet. The sky was pitch-black, and the ground below sparkled like a Christmas tree with the glow of city lights. As my plane flew eastward, I looked out the window and saw the bright lights of Austin, TX, and Houston, TX—each city on the ground shining like its own constellation, nearly 200 miles apart. From 33,000 feet, I could see it all—from Austin to Houston and everywhere in between.
And in that solitary moment, God whispered this truth to my heart:
“This is how I see you!”
From heaven’s view, nothing is hidden. God sees it all—every part of our journey through life: our beginnings, our struggles, our moments of joy, and our unknown destinations. What seems distant, clouded, or uncertain to us is perfectly clear to Him. Just as I could see the bright lights separating two large cities below, God sees every detail of our lives with perfect clarity.
No stretch of darkness, no distance, no sin, and no season can separate us from God’s great love.
Romans 8:38 reminds us:
“Nothing… can separate us from God’s love.”
Listen closely: Lean into that truth! From God’s eternal perspective, He sees the whole picture—from your first breath to your very last. And while you may only see what’s right outside your window, you can rest knowing that God already sees the light at both ends of your journey, and every step in between.
He sees all. He knows all. He hears all. You are the apple of His eye. Every detail of your life matters to Him because He is writing your story. In your coming and your going, in lying down or sitting up, in your weeping and rejoicing—God is for you, not against you. Don’t miss that!
Be reminded and encouraged:
“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him.”
(1 Corinthians 2:9)
Rest in God’s unconditional love for you today.
Love God. Love people. Live sent.
