2 Corinthians 3:5 (NASB)

Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God.

Romans 8:5-6 (NIV)

Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace.

Isaiah 53:4-6 (NIV)

Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.

Father's Eyes by Mark Schultz

Tomorrow she'll be turning 17

But somehow now the mirror has become her enemy

Feeling like she'll never measure up

Feeling like she'll never be enough

In her Father's Eyes, he is taken by her beauty

And captivated by her every time

In her Father's eyes, he is longing just to tell her

She's never been more lovely in her life

If only she could see herself one time

In her Father's eyes

He's on the edge of giving up tonight

He's feeling like he's wasted the best days of his life

Afraid he'll never be the man he thought that he could be

When he looks inside he's so ashamed of who he sees

But in his Father's eyes he is a son of glory

The image of a strong and mighty king

In his Father's eyes, there's more left in the story

He's fighting hard to hold back tears of pride

If only he could see himself tonight

In his Father's eyes

So no matter where you are

And no matter what you've done

You're not alone

You're not alone

And no matter where you've been

And no matter where you're from

Come back home

Come back home

'Cause in your Father's eyes, you're loved with such abandon

He's running to you now arms open wide

In your Father's eyes, you're safe and you're accepted

There's nothing you can do to change His mind

If only you could see yourself one time

If only you could see yourself one time

In your Father's eyes

In your Fathers eyes
