There was a time when I thought of God’s knowing me about the way a speaker knows the person in the back row of a large auditorium full of people. Yes, I was in the crowd, I was in the door, but I was only one of the masses. Of course this also gave me reason to feel that if I did something not becoming a child of God, no one knew. Wow! These thoughts were really putting God into a box! I was bringing Him down to our very human level.
When Jesus Christ came to earth some 2000 years ago, and ultimately gave His life on Calvary’s Cross to pay the wages of sin, He tore away the veil separating God and man. We are now one with God if we have accepted Christ as our Savior. He states in John 17:21 “That they all may be one, (just) as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, and they also may be one in Us…” and in verse 23 “I in them and You in Me, in order that they may become one…”
Ephesians 3:17 makes it very clear that Christ dwells within me. From the Amplified version we read “May Christ through your faith (actually) dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts!”
Read what it says in Colossians 2:9 &10 (again from the amplified): “For in Him the whole fullness of Deity (the Godhead) continues to dwell in bodily form (giving complete expression of the divine nature). And you are in Him, made full and having come to fullness of life (in Christ you too are filled with the Godhead—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,--and reach full spiritual stature.)”
So I ask again, “God, do You hear me? Do You see me?” And the answer is “of course my child, behold, I am with you always, as we are one.”
“He knows my name,
He knows my every thought,
He sees each tear that falls
And hears me when I call!”

Prayer: Thank You Father, for hearing me, seeing me, and knowing all about me. You are so Good! Amen
