Looking at ourselves when facing the Eternal, we are humbled by our limitations, by our flaws, by our past.
God doesn't see any of these; He sees potential, He sees a blank slate upon which He can write our story, He sees His child...flawed, but striving. How many of us would look at our own flawed, striving children and not let our love for them overshadow those very same flaws that prevent them from reaching the potential that is theirs? We would do whatever it takes to allow them to reach the ultimate level of their potential. God does more.      John 3:16
