Fully loved. Fully known

You know how people are like wow that guy is so great or that girl is so nice. Some people have such good character. Some people are so humble and lovable.

Well what about the people who are weird. Or seem like jerks but are nice deep down. The ones who aren't cool or fun. The ones who struggle with putting out an image of being great.

I think we're all very similar.  Some people have just learned to pretend better. Some people were born into better families.  Maybe we all don't deserve love and acceptance but we all need it. We all want it.

I like Jesus cause he saw through all the bullshit and into the heart of man. He saw potential in people. He loved those who were misunderstood by others. He called out those who were fake. He was merciful to those who were mistreated and gave them a new identity.

My identity is not based on what other people think of me. I must continue to remember that. Some people like me alot. Others not so much. And many don't even notice me. But I must know that through Jesus I am perfectly loved and accepted by God. I can be myself cause He not only loves me but He knows me fully. I don't have to explain myself or put on a front.

I can rest.
