I'm honoured by the mention :-)<br /><br />I like your use of Psalm 138, though I think mum may have miscommunicated my suggestion, which was actually that psalm 139 takes on a fresh challenge in light of 138:6:<br /><br /> Though the LORD is on high, he looks upon the lowly, <br /> but the proud he knows from afar.<br /><br />- which to me puts a finger on the difference between knowing someone and merely knowing about someone. If Psalm 139 is true for everyone and God knows all about each person, then how can he say to some "I never knew you"? Well, I reckon Psalm 138:6 has the answer. The proud he can only know from afar, only know about; if I really want to be known intimately by God then I'd better be prepared to seek him in humility, to become lowly in spirit. Then I can know as I am known, and say with delight that "I am my beloved's and he is mine". Hallelujah joy!<br /><br />Blessings!<br /><br />Towan :-)Towan Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01014356685895105588noreply@blogger.com
