Psalm 139:1,  "You have searched me, Lord, and you know me."

Think

Have you ever considered how much of a desire we have to be known? From a very early age, we all have a craving for others to know who we are. In today's world, that's one of the driving forces behind social media. Yet, no matter how much information we post about ourselves; no matter how many selfies we take or stories we post, no one will ever know us better than the One who created us. And the fact is, He doesn't care how many likes we get, because His "like" is the only one that counts! Consider just for a moment the confidence that comes with being truly known by God. How freeing it is to know that you don't have to pretend; you don't have to put on a show. You are simply known because He created you, and He loves you just as you are. No filter needed! So today, take a few moments to thank God for the fact that you are truly known by Him. And use that fact to build confidence into your life and the lives of those around you.

Act

Use your social media today to build confidence in others. Share this devotional or today's verse. Remind those in your circle of influence just how much they are known - and loved - by the God of the universe!

Pray

Dear God, thank You for knowing me better than I even know myself. Help me to see myself the way You see me, nothing more and nothing less. Allow me the opportunity to help build that confidence into others around me as well. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
