Ang lahat ng gawain ko, sa iyo ay hindi lingid, kahit ikaw ay malayo, batid mo ang aking isip.

Awit 139:2

Telefoto or long lenses ang gamit ng mga wildlife photographers to get beautiful shots of their subjects. They can observe how the animals move, hunt their prey, and behave from a distance. The published photo is a feast for the eyes.

Ganitong lens din ang gamit ng paparazzi para ma-capture ang candid photos ng celebrities. Nae-expose nila ang no-makeup look ng mga ito na madalas ikinagugulat ng lahat at naka-comment ng, “Ay! Ganyan pala itsura niya!”

Pero si Lord, hindi kailangan ng high-powered cameras to zoom into your life. Kilalang-kilala ka Niya, pati flaws and heartaches mo. Bilang Niya ang hibla ng iyong buhok pati na rin kung gaano karaming luha na ang iniyak mo. He knows you better than your parents, best friend, and even yourself.

How does this truth, that the God of the universe knows everything about you, affect the way you live?

First, it helps you become more accountable to Him. Hindi ka gagawa ng mga bagay na ikalulungkot Niya. You’ll think twice or thrice before making crucial decisions. Pipiliin mong mag-pray to ask for God’s guidance instead of running your show.

Second, hindi mo kailangang mahiyang lumapit kay Lord dahil alam Niya kung naging maganda o masaklap ba ang buhay mo. Kahit alam ni Lord lahat sa buhay mo, importante ka sa Kanya lalo na ang ugnayan ninyong dalawa. He doesn’t expect you to live a perfect life, but He desires that you trust Him as your partner in life.

Kaibigan, si Jesus lang ang totoong tanggap ka. Hindi ka Niya kamumuhian gaya ng mundo. Alam Niya na work in progress ka, at Siya lang ang may kayang magpabago ng puso mo kung gugustuhin mo. When you follow Christ, He will focus on molding you from the inside out.
