Know Me
At church Sunday night, we took a few moments each silently reflecting on Psalm 139:23:
"Search me, Oh God, and know my heart;
Try me and know my anxious thoughts;
And see if there be any hurtful way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting."
I repeated "know my anxious thoughts and show me any hurtful way in me, Lord", over and over, almost like a chant. In the room, silence, but not so in my head. I'm thinking God will reveal something to me I need to do/ask forgiveness for. Something I can just talk to those involved, ask forgiveness to them and God, and then pray about it...Done!
The words in my head all of a sudden changed to "Know me. Know me. Know me. Know me."...over and over. I smirked a little and nodded my head with an understanding.
God knows me. He had something bigger in mind, not something that could be done, checked off, and so easily dismissed. He already knows I am good at getting done my to-do list: The Journey devotional for the day, the quick prayer for someone in need, the bible study lesson, etc...
He wants me to truly know Him, like I know some of my best gal friends.
Lord, let me no longer feel like a bulb waiting to be planted.
Let me no longer wonder what my purpose is.
Let me know You, Lord...show me how to know you.
I am ready to grow.
Try me and know my anxious thoughts;
And see if there be any hurtful way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting."

Beautiful.
I am blessed to know you.
Oliver has a Hermie Scripture Memory CD with those verses put to music. I've been singing it in my head ever since I read this. Thanks! Seriously!
Love you.
