But if anyone loves God, he is known by God. 1 Corinthians 8:3 ESV
There are alot of ways to be known.
I am known as a mother, daughter, wife, leader of a homeschool co-op, Christian, home educator.
But does anyone really know me?
I am a "knower" of people. I am interested in people and can remember things about them. I love to use this knowledge when buying gifts for someone - I love to give them something that I "know" is them, that they will love. I do this to show my care and affection for someone.
Over the years I have studied my husband to learn about him. What kinds of things does he like? What kinds of things express love and care to him? What does he like to eat? Knowing these things help me be a better wife to him. One thing he likes is for me to come and hang out with him when he is working on a project, like changing the oil in the car, or chopping wood. He likes my company. If I hadn't studied to know him, I would never have thought that my sitting with him would me anything to him!
I know my children. I have studied them all their lives. I know what will make them happy, or sad. I know what they would be excited over. I use this knowledge to guide them, teach them, love them.
But does anyone really know me?
1 Corinthians 8:3 says " But if anyone loves God, he is known by God." This is encouraging to me. God cares to know me. God knows that I love to read, and to make things for my family. He knows that I am insecure in some areas of my life, and that I hurt when being misunderstood. He knows that I desire to walk with Him, and have my children do the same, to honor Him in our family life and to have it passed down multigenerationally.
Do we take the time to let people know we are thinking of them? All people love to know that they are cared about, that they are known. I am going to make a confession here. Often I feel as if I do all the "knowing" and that I don't get that "being known" in return. I spent the last three days at home due to the snow. I received one phone call during those three days and that was to tell me that church was cancelled!
I encourage you all to know the people in your life and to let them know you care! It is so important, and just may make someone's day!
