You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. Psalm 139: 1-2 NIV
You perceive my thoughts
You perceive my thoughts, Lord.
Why do You pay so much attention to me?
I certainly don’t return the favor.
Why do You listen so closely to everything I think and believe and act upon?
I know I don’t take the time to hear You that deeply or consistently.
Why are You so aware of my opinions and imagined perspectives of the world?
Too often I only seek my ego-driven point of view, not pausing to wonder what You may have divinely designed.
Perceive is an odd word, Lord
To perceive –
to observe
to behold,
to discern and discover,
to grasp and to hear
to know and to touch and
to understand.
Why, Lord?
Part of me knows the answer lies in Your love, yet I resist fully believing if You really knew me, if You perceived my most inward thoughts…
Would You still love me?
Yet You hold fast and continue to perceive my thoughts – to hold my thinking – to touch my soul and to understand and – gasp – to love me.
Unfailing love.
Merciful love.
Faithfull love
Your love.
well.
ouch.
this bit me today.
thanks.
I think.
