Moreover if Papa God were imperfect would we still love him like he loves us even when WE fail?
I wonder. You have a point. God is perfect yet he loves us in our imperfection. We even fail to love our own brothers yet that is the yardstick to know that we love God.
I wonder how he does itXD

God is interested in each individual and cares for each individual. However, it is also up to individuals to work on themselves.

For God knows the thoughts he thinks towards us. Thoughts of good and not of evil, to give us an expected and glorious end. Faith should be our guide as christainty.

However, when He looks at us, He sees Jesus, and that is because Jesus died for our sins, past, present, and those we haven't even committed yet! The blood of Jesus covers us, so when God looks at us, He sees Jesus because we are in Christ and He is in us once we are saved. Jesus is sitting on the right hand of God interceding for us when we pray, so I believe that is what the author might have meant about God seeing Jesus when He looks at us. Another of the great mysteries of the Bible and God!
Nice one, I think I like this.

When God sees us, He sees perfection in Jesus Christ. He knows of our damnation but the Bible says in 2 corinthians 5:17; Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them.
