Most of us look in the mirror every day. We see what we see. You see yourself through your own eyes — shaped by your own perspective, past, and insecurities.
But have you ever considered how God sees you?
For many people, that thought is frightening. They assume God looks at them with disappointment, frustration, or judgment. So they avoid thinking about it entirely. But as Christians, learning to see ourselves the way God sees us is essential. It is the true key to supernatural change. It is what ignites the power to overcome every excuse we make for not obeying Him.
When you know who you are in His eyes, everything changes.
If you know the story of Moses, you know his early life was conflicted and complicated. He was raised between two cultures — Hebrew and Egyptian — two totally different identities. No wonder he struggled with who he was. Eventually, Moses aligned his heart with his Hebrew people and wanted to help them… but his first attempt ended in disaster. In trying to protect a Hebrew slave, he accidentally killed an Egyptian taskmaster. Overwhelmed with fear and shame, he ran into the wilderness. His confidence and dreams collapsed.
Years later, God called him. God reminded Moses why He put him on this earth. God began to guide him back toward his destiny — but Moses immediately fought back with excuses.
God told him:
Exodus 3:10 (NKJV) — “Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people… out of Egypt.”
Moses replied:
Exodus 3:11 — “Who am I…?”
That question reveals the same struggle many believers face today. Moses looked at himself through his own weaknesses instead of through God’s strength. He didn’t feel worthy, competent, or prepared. He feared failure, criticism, and the unknown.
But God answered:
Exodus 3:12 — “I will certainly be with you.”
Moses continued to offer excuses:
“What do I say?”
“What if they don’t believe me?”
“I’m not eloquent.”
And finally:
“Lord… please send someone else.”
Yet with every excuse, God patiently reassured him, equipped him, and reminded him of what Moses could not see — that God Himself would empower him. Every major leader in the Bible, except Jesus, battled fear, inadequacies, and excuses. What made them great was not confidence in themselves but confidence in God.
God already knew what He placed inside Moses — strengths Moses could not imagine. God brought Aaron to help him, supplied signs and wonders, and guided him step by step. Moses eventually learned to trust God more than his insecurities, and that is where excuses die — when God’s truth becomes louder than our doubt.
When God leads you — even in small things — you might feel exactly like Moses.
You might think:
“Who am I?”
“Why would God use me?”
“I’m not able.”
But God is no respecter of persons. Everything He taught Moses, He longs to teach you. The fulfillment of your destiny begins with one obedient step at a time.
2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) — “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
See yourself as God sees you — loved, chosen, empowered, forgiven, and equipped — and your excuses will lose their power. That’s when you begin to walk boldly in the purpose God created you for.
