Knowing Him Daily

14.March.2026

There is something that happens when someone truly knows you, not the version of you that you present, not the highlights, not the carefully edited story, but the actual you, and they stay. They do not flinch. They do not pull back. They just stay.

That is what we are talking about today.

Before you knew His name, He knew yours. Before you ever opened a Bible, before you ever walked into a church, before you ever said your first prayer or sang your first worship song, He already knew everything about you. Every strength and every failure. Every dream and every secret. Every moment you would be proud of and every one you would not. He saw it all, and He chose you anyway.

Psalm 139:1-4 says it plainly, “O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up. You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.”Every word before it leaves your mouth. Every thought before it forms completely. He is already there.

And Jeremiah 1:5, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.” Before your parents knew you were coming. Before you took your first breath. Known.

Here is why this matters so much for the series we are in. We cannot truly know someone we are hiding from. And so many of us, without even realizing it, have been managing our presentation before God the same way we manage it before people. Showing up polished. Keeping the hard stuff tucked away. Presenting the version of ourselves we think He can work with.

But He already knows. He has always already known. And He is not waiting for you to get it together before He draws close. He is already close. He has been close since before you were born.

1 Corinthians 13:12 gives us a glimpse of where this is all heading. “Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.” One day our knowing of Him will be as complete as His knowing of us. That is the destination. That is what we are moving toward. But we do not have to wait until eternity to stop hiding.

I want to say something gently but directly. Some of us have kept God at a careful distance not because we do not love Him, but because we are not sure what He thinks of us when no one else is looking. We know what we have done. We know what we have thought. We know the gap between who we appear to be and who we actually are in the quiet.

And I just want you to hear this today. He knows that gap better than you do. He mapped it before you were born. And He has never once looked at it and changed His mind about you.

That is not a reason to stay comfortable in the gap. It is a reason to stop being afraid of it. Because the One who knows you most is also the One who loves you best, and intimacy with Him begins the moment you stop pretending and just come as you are.

You do not have to clean up to come close. Coming close is what cleans you up.

If today’s post finds you in a season where you have been keeping a careful distance, I want to invite you to simply stop. Not perform. Not promise to do better. Just stop the distance. Tell Him exactly where you are. He already knows anyway, and there is something powerful that happens when we stop pretending with the One who cannot be fooled.

He knew you first. Let that be enough to bring you back. https://youtu.be/RbWQV3OiRqA?si=GXvKlG4O9XLjChKb

Make today count and see you tomorrow.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
