fully known

But whoever loves God is known by God.

- 1 Corinthians 8:3 (NIV)

 

Hey ya’all it is February, the month of hearts and love and gushy stuff!

Love is a funny thing, there are poems, TV shows, movies, cartoons and songs about love, happy love, sad love, unspoken love, unrequited love.

Immediately the Looney Tunes character Pepe LePew and his bewildered love interest Penelope Pussycat come to mind, I can see him professing his undying love as she struggles to get away. 

I wonder if God compares us to Pepe and Penelope?

God tries so hard to hold on to us, showing us His love, yet we often run away from Him.

Are we scared that He won’t love us, that we are not worthy?

Song reference!

It's so unusual, it's frightening

You see right through the mess inside me

And you call me out to pull me in

You tell me I can start again

And I don't need to keep on hiding

I'm fully known and loved by You

You won't let go no matter what I do

And it's not one or the other

It's hard truth and ridiculous grace

To be known fully known and loved by You

I'm fully known and loved by You

It's so like You to keep pursuing

It's so like me to go astray

But You guard my heart with Your truth

A kind of love that's bulletproof

And I surrender to Your kindness, ooh

I'm fully known and loved by You

You won't let go no matter what I do

And it's not one or the other

It's hard truth and ridiculous grace

To be known fully known and loved by You

I'm fully known and loved by You

How real, how wide

How rich, how high is Your heart

I cannot find the reasons why

You give me so much

How real, how wide

How rich, how high is Your heart

I cannot find the reasons why

You give me so much

I'm fully known and loved by You

You won't let go no matter what I do

And it's not one or the other

It's hard truth and ridiculous grace

To be known fully known and loved by You

I'm fully known and loved by You

It's so unusual, it's frightening

I'm fully known and loved by You

God see us on our good days and our bad days, and He loves us anyway.

He is with us when we try to run and hide, and He loves us anyway.  

Fully known, and still loved.

That is the kind of love we should all crave.
