You Are Seen
It is said that everyone wants to be seen in life. They want to know that they are not invisible. Yet many go through life feeling as though they are invisible. They feel that no one notices them.
It can be empowering to know that you are seen. Knowing that the most important person ever sees you can be especially empowering.
Consider how the Psalmist felt about it,
Psalm 139:1 O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. 2 You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. 3 You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. 4 You know what I will say even before I say it, LORD. 5 You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful and great for me to understand! 7 I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never escape from your presence!8 If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there. 9 If I ride the wings of the morning and dwell by the farthest oceans, 10 even there, your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me. 11 I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night— 12 but even in darkness, I cannot hide from you. To You, the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to you. 13 You made all the delicate inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion and woven together in the dark of the womb. 16 You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. 17 How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! 18 I can’t even count them;
they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!
God forever sees you because of the New Covenant that Jesus established with His blood!
Blood that speaks better things! Blood that declares you will never be invisible to God!
What’s wonderful about being seen all the time by God is that God is not watching you so that He can collect prosecutorial evidence against you. He is watching you out of His great love for you.
He is watching over you!
If you are born again and a follower of Jesus, there’s no need to fear, feel alone, or imagine you are invisible. Your God is alive, awake, and alert!
Luke 12:6 “What is the price of five sparrows—two copper coins? Yet God does not forget a single one of them. 7 And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.
You may be in a situation that has left you feeling alone or unseen, but I assure you that you are seen and not alone if Jesus is your Lord and Savior.
I encourage you to take heart today in knowing that an ever-present loving, caring Father is watching over you and His Spirit is with you. All this is ours, thanks to Jesus!
