Day 1 Devotional: Seeing Through God's Eyes

Day 1: The Two Labels We Carry

Reading: Luke 7:36-50

Devotional: Every person carries two labels: "as is" and "made in His image." Like damaged merchandise marked for clearance, we all bear flaws and imperfections. Yet beneath our brokenness lies the divine imprint of our Creator. The woman who washed Jesus' feet understood both realities—she knew her sinful past but experienced transformative love that saw beyond her present condition. Today, examine which label you focus on when looking at yourself and others. Are you fixated on the "as is" condition, or can you see the "made in His image" potential? God's love doesn't wait for us to clean up before approaching Him. He invites us to come as we are, trusting He will complete the work He began in us.
