I was recently thinking about the expression "Love is blind." Perhaps you've heard it. It basically means that, when you love someone, it's hard for you to see their faults. I usually think of this as something bad, like when someone doesn't break up with a bad boyfriend because they're "in love."
But it occurred to me... God is love. Is God blind?
My first thought is "absolutely not." God sees everything. In fact, He's the creator of sight!
Nevertheless, there's another side to God's character: His willingness to accept Jesus in our place, covering over our faults.
He doesn't see our faults anymore.
Not exactly blind, but close enough...
Now that's cool :)
