KNOWN

written on a Sabbath in August 2024

"To be known is to be seen, to be understood. To be loved."

To be known is to be seen, to be understood

To be loved

To know your inner workings, your likes, your dislikes

To know your dreams & plans

To know what excites you & what frightens you

To know your victories & losses

To know your triumphs & despairs

To know your strengths & weaknesses

To know what your temptations are & what could lead to your downfall

To know your hurts & pains

To know what will fulfill & make whole

To know your prayers & praises

To know your longings & desires

To know what you’d like from the menu, what you won’t like & ultimately that which you don’t yet know you like

To know is to be with you through all seasons – in joys & through griefs

To know is to dance alongside you & sing to the tops of the mountains

To know is to hold you when you cry & your being aches

To know is to submit your everything to the Saviour who knows you

We are all known, will we surrender to the only One who knows all

Heavenly Father, thank you that You know me (better than I know myself)
