About Me

So much of the time I think about how we want to be known.  I've been on Facebook quite a bit lately and it is a place where you go to "keep in touch" with your friends, but it's also a place where you can let everyone know about yourself.  We sign up under the guise of wanting to be friendly-but I have to say, we also find a lot to say about ourselves.  We love it when people write on our Wall.  We change our Status so everyone knows what we're up to and thinking about. 

I wish God had a Facebook page, and He kept me apprised of His "Status."  I'd like to know if He was happy or disappointed.  I wish He'd send me a Message-wouldn't an Inbox full of private messages from God just be so cool?  What if He would write a nice note to me on my Wall where everyone could see it. What if He liked the same TV shows and music that I did?  I wonder what His "Love Language" is or if He would sign up for the same "Causes" that I do?  

The fact that I so often seem to let drift away from the center of my attention is this: I am known, completely.  God knows my every thought, my Status is known better to Him than it is even to myself.  If I want to know Him I have to open my heart and my life to Him.  I have to take time to pray, to read His Word, and to see and serve His Creation.  This life- wow, now that's one awesome "Growing Gift."
