Does God Really Know Me?

By Paula Williamson guest writer

Don’t we all want to be known intimately? It often feels as though we carry invisible signs on our foreheads that read, “Do you see me? Am I important? Do I matter?” If you have been fortunate, you know the unexplainable gift of unconditional love and complete acceptance—warts, faults, and all. But what if you haven’t? What if you are still waiting—still standing there, holding your sign up high?

It Is Written

PSALM 139:1–3 “O Lord, You have searched me thoroughly and have known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thoughts from afar. You scrutinize my path and my lying down And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.”

Here I Am, Waiting

There is One who is waiting for you.

You are important. You are valuable. You are loved. And you do matter.

He knows you. He sees you. He understands you.

He will not turn you away. You do not have to measure up or perform. You do not have to prove your worth.

Just come—as you are.

Prayer

Lord, You were there when I was knit into my mother's womb. Your Word says that You know me when I sit and when I rise. You know my entire life—my thoughts, and even the motives behind my thoughts. All my days are recorded in Your book, and every tear is caught in a bottle. You are intimately acquainted with me, always available—never too busy. I come, just as I am.

Takeaway

He knows me. He gets me.
