He Sees Me

9/10/2020

John 1:48 “When thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.”

God sees me wherever I am. No matter my circumstances or where I am in my journey, He sees me. The question is, am I aware of this at every moment? I can hide nothing from Him, so why don’t I behave like He is in the room with me at all times? Do I put on my Christian face and attitude when I am with others, but fall apart when I am alone? How do I do when the storms of life come? Do I stand on the Rock in full faith? Chambers writes, “We imagine we would be all right if a big crisis arose; but the big crisis will only reveal the stuff we are made of, it will not put anything into us.”

When the biggest crisis of my life came, I failed miserably. I was going to church regularly, serving in ministry, and wearing my crosses proudly, but as they say, my faith was a mile wide and an inch deep. My relationship with Jesus at the time was certainly that of a friend, confidant, and merciful Savior, but He did not hold the most important place in my life. It was not until I was brought to a place of complete weakness that He took the scales from my eyes and I knew He saw me; in all of my distress and through my illness, He was there waiting for me. I was shattered into a million little pieces, and God was the only one who could put me back together. I needed to learn how to rest in Him, submit all, and abandon self. I began walking with Jesus every minute of every day. I had to, because I could not find my way out of the darkness without Him. Chambers writes, “The private relationship of worshipping God is the great essential of fitness.” Just like the importance of focusing of physical fitness, I needed to concentrate on my spiritual health as well. Prayer, study, and releasing all to God healed me because He saw me, and was waiting. God allowed the storm to stretch me and help me grow in my relationship with Him, and I will forever be humbled by and grateful for His love and mercy.

Take heart dear one, for He sees you too.
