How do you see me?

^21 Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. ^22 But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation—  (Col 1:21-22, NIV)

Some people struggle with self image, admittedly sometimes i do as well.  My past sometimes veers it's ugly head and reminds me of the person i was (yes, was notice past tense).  Sometimes I run from that, or try to.  Sometimes i dream of it.  I used to really not like the person i was.

I didn't like how alcohol consumed my life,
I didn't like how i treated women,
I didn't like jumping from one relationship to another.
I didn't like wandering around aimlessly in this life.
I didn't like feeling like I had no purpose.
I didn't like me.....

I was an enemy of  God (vs.21)

Yes, an enemy of God.  If your not with Him, you are against Him.  If your not helping, you are hindering.

It's reality.

but then.........

Nov 30, 1997 happened, I became a Christ follower and something amazing happened (vs. 22)

I am reconciled
I am Holy
I am without blemish
I am free from accusation
In the sight of God   - and everyone else's opinion really doesn't matter.

and now

I love God
I love Me
I love my Family
I love my life

have a great day,  Chris
