John 1:47-48
“Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him and said of him, ‘Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit.’ ‘How do You know me?’ Nathanael asked. Jesus replied, ‘Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree.’ “
Before Nathanael ever searched for Jesus, Jesus already saw him sitting beneath the fig tree. I love that thought. Jesus saw Nathanael before Nathanael saw Jesus. The same is true for us.
We may think we are unnoticed in the crowd, forgotten in pain, or hidden in secret places, but the eyes of God never lose sight of us.
Go to the highest mountain or the deepest sea and you will still be fully seen by Him.
Someday all people will stand before God, but there will never be a single person God sees for the first time. He has watched every tear, every failure, every prayer, and every lonely hour. The God who sees us completely still loves us.
I’m Lonnie Davis and these are thoughts worth thinking.
Prayer: Father, help me remember You always see me, know me fully, and still love me.
