I was on my way to school this morning flipping through radio stations as is my habit when I came across this song by MercyMe. I'd never heard it before, but it absolutely brought tears to my eyes. So many of their songs do that. They have a powerful gift for putting the right lyrics together.
If you've read here lately or much, you know I've been floundering, struggling even more than usual with who I am, with what I'm worth, issues I always deal with. This song spoke right to that. I have no trouble seeing the beauty in people around me. They, for the most part, sort of astound me. They are always so much more capable and wonderful than they realize. My students are perfect illustrations of this. They absolutely shine.
I never see myself this way, though. This song nailed me. It made me realize that the way I see my students is the way God sees me. He sees potential. He sees good. He sees beauty and promise. He sees worth. I needed that reminded right now, maybe more than I've ever needed it before. It was a lovely gift. It made me feel beautiful, and that was nothing short of a miracle.
