People are trying all sorts of things to become “known “. Some do crazy stunts and posts videos on YouTube. Others take a million selfies and post them on Instagram. Some people record their every thought on Twitter or Facebook. I know some people who seem to speak everything that comes into their heads.
All of this is done so that they can be known to others. For some it is a desire to become famous, if only for a short time. But for most people it is a desire to be known on deeper levels. It is about having another person care about them and accept them for who they really are. In our highly paced and individualistic culture, we don’t often take the time to know and appreciate people.
There is One who knows everything about us. He knows our thoughts, fears, anxieties, weaknesses, strengths, hopes, and motivations. He formed us and He has great plans for us. God’s love for us is abundant, steadfast and eternal. Psalm 139:1-2 says, “O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar.” We only need to speak and He will listen.
