"'How do you know about me?’" Nathanael asked. And Jesus replied, ‘I could see you under the fig tree before Philip found you.’"
John 1:48 NLT
“You knew me? You saw me? Awesome! You must be the Son of God. You’ve got to be the King of Israel!” Nathanael was shocked that Jesus would even notice him. But He did. Jesus saw Nathanael while he was sitting under a tree. If you’re sitting under a tree right now, Jesus sees you too and He thinks you’re amazing.
Yes, Jesus sees you. He knows exactly where you are. He walks with you now—right now. He will walk anywhere with you—today. He will help you find a good friend—He will help you excel in school—He will help you with anything. Just ask. He cares about every detail of your life.
How do I know? The Bible tells me so.
“Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you’ Hebrews 13:5 NIV
Does the enemy try to slap a label on your back? Are any of the following familiar?
NI - Not Important SC - Sports Klutz
S – Stupid NC– Not cool
NAGA – Not as good as…… O – Overlooked
NGL – Not good looking BC - Bad clothes
Rip off that label. Walk with confidence. King Jesus walks with you. He sees you. He chooses you. He knows you’re cool because He made you. He’s looking at you—watching you. You are in His heart forever!
“I will give thanks to you because I have been so amazingly and miraculously made. Your works
are miraculous, and my soul is fully aware of this.”
Psalm 139:14 GW
Dear Lord,
Thank you for seeing me. Please walk with me today. Thank you.
Emma's Review
People have said rude things to me in the past but I should not let those words get to me because God made me who I am. I am a daughter of The Lord. God knows everything about me. He knows my past and my future but His main thing is where I am right now--the way everything just is. He knows when I sit and when I rise, when a sparrow falls. He loves everyone even the foul mouthed and unworthy.
Lord, your love is beyond my understanding and I am not worthy of it, but still, You love me always.
Beautiful post! I could have used this when I was about thirteen! Thankful I had parents who told me this, but to have had it written out for me to read! Way cool! GO MARGIE and GO EMMA!
