KNOWN AND SEEN

Time moves quickly……..are you known by GOD?  I think it is human nature that we all want to be known by someone, anyone.   People are always seeking to belong and to be loved and to be seen.

OUR GOD IS THE GOD WHO SEES

HE sees you and HE sees me and in GENESIS HE saw Hagar.  She had an encounter with the angel of the LORD telling her that she would bear a son because the LORD had listened to her affliction.

GENESIS 16:13  “SO SHE CALLED THE NAME OF THE LORD WHO SPOKE TO HER, “YOU ARE A GOD OF SEEING.”   ESV

The NIV says it this way…….

“YOU ARE THE GOD WHO SEES ME,” FOR SHE SAID, “I HAVE NOW SEEN THE ONE WHO SEES ME.”

WE ARE SEEN BY GOD AND KNOWN BY GOD.

If you are abiding closely with HIM, this is such an amazing comfort because you realize HE knows everything about you down to the smallest detail.  However, if you are far from HIM and walking a sinful way, you only can hope HE doesn’t see all that you are doing relating to your sin.

DON’T WASTE ANOTHER MINUTE, REPENT TODAY AND RETURN TO YOUR FATHER WHO SEES YOU!

Ask for HIS limitless forgiveness and then draw close.  And honestly, you don’t have to try that hard, because GOD already knows your heart.  So come before HIM and let HIM see you, the real you.  You cannot hide cause HE is right there…….

PSALM 139:  “YOU SEARCH OUT MY PATH AND MY LYING DOWN AND ARE ACQUAINTED WITH ALL MY WAYS.”

There is no place where we can flee from HIS spirit or even from HIS presence.  HE is closer than anyone as HE continually holds our right hand……..

PSALM 139: 10  “…….EVEN THERE YOUR HAND SHALL LEAD ME, AND YOUR YOUR RIGHT HAND SHALL HOLD ME.”

Even there……..anywhere.  Anywhere you are in your walk with CHRIST.  Whether you are a new Christian or a mature Christian.   HE………is……..there.

HE knows you and HE sees you.  That is a good GOD!  That is a compassionate GOD!  That is a GOD who died on the Cross so HE wouldn’t be separated from HIS children.  But the best part of all is that HE is a GOD who loves you and loves me, more than we could ever know!

PSALM  139:  1  “O LORD, YOU HAVE SEARCHED ME AND KNOWN ME!”
