To be Known and Loved

To be known is to be loved and to be loved is to be known. Think about that statement for a moment. Consider the woman at the well. She was known...yet not truly known. Actions and peers had defined her but I doubt anyone knew who she really was. What her favorite color was, her dreams and desires. Then enters a man asking for a drink of water. A man that could see past her exterior to her innermost being. A man that knew her. Yet, in a way she had never experienced before. He saw the delicate girl, who before she became known for her sin, had hope. And He loved.

To be known is to be loved and to be loved is to be known. Beloved, we are known. All that we are is known...loved...cherished...desired. When I let that sink in, I want to know Him. Truly know Him. As I come to know Him, oh how I love Him! And as I come to love Him, oh how I want others to be known...and loved.

To be known is to be loved and to be loved is to be known...
