"1Señor, tú me has examinado
y me conoces.
2Tú conoces mi sentarme
y me levantarme; desde lejos,
entiendes mis pensamientos." Salmos (Psalm) 139:1-2
None of my life goals is to become famous just so that everyone knows me, but sure does it feel good to enter an environment where people completely accept you and know who you are! I'm not going to deny that when I go to the parties that my friend C. throws, she always makes a big deal about me being there and my head swellllllllssss up! She yells my name as I walk in and proceeds to run through the crowd of people to recognize my presence. This makes me feel on top of the world, because anything I do after that, does not change the fact that she really is happy to have me there.
And this passage is hinting at the same thing. God knows me, inside and out, and actually cares about my thoughts. It opens up with "God, you have examined me and you know me." <--This right there is basically saying: God you know what I'm like. I'm not that organized. I don't always tell the truth and disobey you on purpose. I don't even have to tell you how messed up I am, because you know all that, but still you want me.
Reminds me of someone once telling me that people shouldn't change who they are to please someone else because of that person really likes you, he/she will take you as you are, faults and all, which made me super happy 'cause boy am I a rough package. And I see the same applying here, but God loves us more and doesn't even see the faults because Jesus covers them up.
So, not only does He know how jacked up I am, He still loves me and choses to protect, guide and sustain me. "But God, you know that last week after aunt Julie told me not to give Hannah the candy I...." I know.
"Okay, but did you know that I lied to my mom about...." I know. "Well, you obviously don't realize that I ignore you sometimes." I know, but I love you just the same.
Chuta. He must really know 'bout me.
"1 You have searched me, LORD,
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit
and when I rise; you perceive
my thoughts from afar."
