There is this great human desire to be known. We want to be seen in the fullness of ourselves. To believe that no part of us is too broken or too shameful, but that it is all beautiful and holy.
The only desire that seems to rival this is the desire to know. To see another person and know them as an entire universe. To know Love, to know God, to know belonging.
We are made in the image of God, I believe this more and more each day. Maybe more important than knowing the names of God or knowing what God is, we are supposed to know God. To know God on this side of Heaven and in the next, to know God in me and God in you.
And isn't it beautiful to experience a God whose greatest desires are to know and be known, just like us?
I want to know myself, I want to be known, and I want to know you. Because I don't ever want to miss out on seeing another variation of this image of God.
