06/09/2025 – God Sees Who You Truly Are
Scripture: Psalms 139: 15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Reflection: It is not fully evident yet who you are in Christ. God’s plan is not fully manifested. He is at work in ways that are not evident to the natural mind. God is shaping you into a royal priesthood.
God’s protective love sees God’s purpose despite appearances. Motherhood is associated with structural changes in the maternal brain. Functional MRI (fMRI) studies reveal that when mothers view images or videos of their own children, specific areas of their brains show heightened activity compared to when they view other children. Hormones, particularly oxytocin, peak during labor and remain high to increase bonding. God’s protective love sees in you what the world cannot see. Pharaoh saw a threat in the people of God. If we could see every person, the way God sees them… or at least the way their mother sees them.
