human heart...

have you ever ask yourself why you want to be part of a community so much?

cos of a longing that God created in us
a longing to know and be known
the greatest joy of the human race

yet
it became
the greatest fear of the human race
the day sin came into the picture

Sin always kill relationship

Fear of whether the other person can accept and love me for who i am
so we put on mask to make people think well of us

Ironically, we are only loved to the extent that we are known
it is only when we take off our mask that people are drawn to us

We have a choice in how much we want to make ourselves known


Dallas Willard writes
"God has placed the only key to the innermost parts of the human soul in its own hands and will never take it back Himself or give it to another. You may even be able to destroy the soul of another, but you will never unlock it against his or her will."

Credits to John Ortberg, "Everybody's
normal till you get to know them."

how much are you known to God today? you may say that the bible said that no thoughts, motives, actions or speeches are not known to God.. that is true.. but God just want to be your friend and He knows He can't force you into one with Him.. so He is asking you like He is asking Adam where is he in Genesis after the Fall.. He wants to know you as you allow Him to..

in the same way.. is there someone in your life that knows all about you? and also allowed to speak into your life? whether is it your closest friend or your other half..

are you seldom alone yet feeling lonely often? it is time to evaluate your life.. only when you are complete, you will never feel lonely.. that happens only when you are known by the Lord..


Be completely known to be completely loved
