Who has given you the gift of being seen? Not simply noticed, but truly seen? Who has looked beyond the surface to recognize something in you that perhaps you couldn’t yet see in yourself? And what difference did their seeing make?
Most of us can name someone whose belief in us changed something. Someone who recognized our gifts, listened to the deepest parts of our souls, and helped us imagine who we might become. When someone sees us this way, we often find ourselves wanting to grow into the fullness of what they have seen in us.
What if this is also true of our relationship with God?
Psalm 139 is one of Scripture’s most beautiful expressions of what it means to be fully known by God. God knows our thoughts, our ways, our fears, and our longings. Nothing about us is hidden, and yet this knowing is not something to fear. It is an invitation to draw closer to the One who sees us completely and loves us still.
As our worship series, Generosity: The Art of Living, continues, join us this week as we explore the gift of being seen. What might change when we begin to understand that before we are ever asked to give, we are already known, cherished, and gifted by God? And how might receiving that kind of love change the way we see and give to others?
