I have been hurt over and over again in life. While the pain can come from anyone, it is usually from guys. Once a guy starts to get to know me, they want to back off to just being friends. Why?? What am I doing wrong?
After being hurt yet again the other day, I got really frustrated. I kept thinking that I want to be fully known but still loved. I want someone to know all about me and know all of my flaws, and still love me. I could not understand why this seems so impossible. Then, as I was driving home it hit me. I AM! I am completely and fully known and still loved. But not just loved. Loved so completely, passionately, and fully that I can't even understand that kind of love. This love comes from God.
How is it that the one who created this world and created me, cares enough to know every little tiny thing about me? He knows every mistake I have made. Every time I have turned away from Him. Every time I have sinned and disappointed Him. He knows it all. And yet? He loves me. He wants the absolute best for me, and He wants to be in a relationship with me. Even after all of the bad things I have done.
I really have a hard time comprehending His love for me, but I am so incredibly thankful for it. Without God's love I would be nothing. I am rejoicing today in the fact that God (THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE) knows me fully, and still loves me more than I know.
