Fully Known
“If anyone loves God he is known by God.” (I Cor. 8:3)
Showing a genuine interest in someone by asking personal questions is an old-reliable sales technique. “Get to know your customer so you can meet his needs.” The strategic inquiry not only assists the salesman in crafting his products’ benefits to match the client’s wish list, it also builds rapport.
Whether in business or social settings, query another about her career, interests or family and she’ll walk away thinking, “What a nice person!” Why? Because we all want to be known. Heard. We yearn for someone to listen and care.
The good news is there’s no need to wait for your next neighborhood gathering. There’s Someone who already knows you - the good and not-so-good - and He loves you immensely. He’d love to hear about your hopes and dreams, cares and concerns.
Any time.
Any hour.
He’s available 24/7.
He’s patiently waiting for you to come sit next to Him. To share your heart openly. To cast all your cares on Him. Because he knows you and cares for you.
Simmer: If you and Jesus were sitting on a sunny patio, having coffee and listening to the birds’ morning chorus, what would you share with Him?
