2546) Whenever I travel, while waiting in or walking through an airport I think I see people I know. It’s almost as if my mind sees and tries to make a connection. Often this connection isn’t in the form I expect.

The connection I see is something about the way a person stands, the shape of their face, or the clothes they are wearing. This is what I see first.

Jeremiah 1:5 doesn’t describe how God sees us, though he certainly does; instead, it reveals that God knows us, even before we were born.

Knowing someone rather than just seeing them makes the relationship deeper. There’s not only connection but shared experiences and understanding. Yes, God sees us, and the wonderful news is he knows us. His understanding no one can fathom. Isaiah 40:28.
