A Wallet Full of Photos

There are so many Bible verses about being “fully known” by God.

 All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.

-1 Corinthians 13v12 NLT-

And, 

O Lord, you have examined my heart

and know everything about me.

You know when I sit down or stand up.

You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.

You see me when I travel

and when I rest at home.

You know everything I do.

You know what I am going to say

even before I say it, Lord.

…You saw me before I was born.

Every day of my life was recorded in your book.

Every moment was laid out

before a single day had passed.

-Psalm 139v1-4,16 NLT-

To some people this may be scary. Even terrifying. All our faults, failures and secrets, laid bare before the God of the universe.

But I think it’s fantastic! Why?

Because, wow! God knows all that and He loves us anyway!!

But more than that…

You saw me before I was born.

Every day of my life was recorded in your book.

Every moment was laid out

before a single day had passed.

-Psalm 139v16-

Oh, the Father, knows our hearts- completely! We are fully known. Not just our “dirty little secrets”, but the good ones as well. He knows our inner most desires. He knows our hearts, even when we cannot fully express them ourselves. He knows who we are, and who we will become. He has a photo album for each of us, already filled with our greatest achievements. And a wallet with our pictures, so He can brag to the angels.

…Well, isn’t that what dads do?

How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.

They cannot be numbered!

I can’t even count them;

they outnumber the grains of sand!

-Psalm 139v17-18 NLT-
