He knows. He knows what you’ve been struggling with, the things you’ve been keeping in your heart for so long. He knows what’s been breaking you in secret, the pain you can’t put into words, the tears you’ve tried to hide. He knows the prayers you whisper at night and the questions you still don’t have answers to. When others see only the smile you show, He sees the story behind it. When others see failure, He sees faithfulness. When others overlook, He notices. When others misjudge, He understands. He sees what others can’t. While people see the surface, God looks deeper. So much of what He truly values is hidden from human eyes. He sees your heart. To you who feel unseen or misunderstood, remember this: His gaze is not one of judgment but of love. May you see with eyes of faith how God sees you, and may you learn to live not for the fleeting applause of others, but for the steady approval of the One who truly sees. Shalom. ——— You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue, you, Lord, know it completely. Psalm 139:1-4 Man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7
