Psalms 139: 1 O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. 2 You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.  You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. 4 You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord. 5 You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand!
7 I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! 8 If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there. 9 If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, 10 even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me. 11 I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night—12 but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to you.

do you ever realize that God knows everything at all about us... I don't know about you.. but I am more hidden than people would realize... most of the things that I say are part of a mask.. not part of the inner me... I hide that inner person from almost everyone.... yet that is the person that God knows of me...
verse 5 says God follows us and He places His hand of blessing on our head... well I gotta say.. I am too too too thankful for that hand of blessing and the following me.. into places I shouldn't be.. places I couldn't get out of on my own.... no matter where we are.. He is there.. no matter who we are.. He knows us and loves us anyways... on our good days.. on our ugly days... every day...

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.

I am very aware that without God.. I am worthless.. I am not a good person... I am not kind or giving.. I am mean and selfish... so I am so thankful for the hand of God in my life.. loving me when I am unloveable... and helping me to become a loveable person that He is proud to claim as His own...
