Do You Feel Known? (Wrapped in Grace)

I simple love that God speaks to us. That the One who has always existed and knows everything, Who is always aware of everything in every country, in our time period and all the ones before it and after it simultaneously, THAT God talks specifically to me, and to you. Wow!

Isn't it so comforting to hear from someone who gets you and gets the situation. There are not a ton of things worse than advice from someone who hasn't gotten all the information first. But that is never the case with God, and I love that. 

I never have to worry about miscommunication with Him (at least Him misunderstanding me). I find that so encouraging especially in light of an experience with a stranger at the store the other day when  a lady accused me of exploiting my children because she assumed I told Uriah to say something to her (that I didn't) about helping fight abortion. Assuming made it so that communication was virtually impossible because we weren't even on the same page.

But don't things like this happen to us all the time. Have you ever had someone assume your motives or assume something about you that wasn't true. This can never be the case with God because He knows us, there will never be false assumptions on His part. 

 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.  
You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. 
Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD. 

Psalm 139:3-4

God knows everything about us. Our hopes, dreams, desires and longings. He is fully aware of what gets us fired up and what scares us. He is well acquainted with our limitations and strengths, what we are feeling at this exact moment, how it came to be and how long it will last. He also knows every detail of how to lead us to change and how to make us more like Him. 

There are 7 billion people alive today, not to mention all the people who ever have lived and ever will, and yet He that kind of knows me, and you. 

To be known is one of the greatest needs of mankind. And we are. 
We are truly, deeply, completely known.
Because God is the Knower of All.
