“Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.” 1 Cor. 13:12

This verse came to mind this week as I was contemplating several things. The part that stood out was that I am, even now, fully known. It is only me who is waiting to know fully; God already sees clearly both who I am and who I will be. From time to time I am surprised to discover new things about myself. I sometimes think that I know myself pretty well, until God shines His light on some area to challenge me to grow or repent or stop clinging to my own ideas and step out in faith. It is both comforting and challenging to remember that God knows me inside and out. And yet, He loves me completely. That is truly amazing.
