I’ve been thinking a lot lately about being known. A woman’s heart desires to be known. We long to bare our souls to someone who wants to hear. We wish to be known for who we are. I long for someone to love those intimate parts of myself that only I posses… to know that my soul is beautiful. It’s in my heart to desire for a husband to know me; the deepest parts of my personality, what I like and don’t like, what makes me happy, why I do the things I do.
If God blesses me with a husband someday, he will know me—but his knowledge will always be limited. No matter how close we grow together, there will always be parts of me that only God can fully know. God is the only one who could ever know “my ways”. He knows my thoughts; He was there in my very first moments, and even in the moments before I existed. He knows my desires, and what things delight my soul. He allows me to bare my soul to Him, without worry of it ever being rejected. He knows me more intimately than a husband ever could. And He delights in the knowledge of me.
Here are lyrics from a song by Audrey Assad that have blessed my heart deeply. Take to heart the promises of Psalm 139, see the beauty, and know dear soul, that you are known.
“As the dew falls on the blade
You have touched all this fragile frame
And as a mother knows her baby's face
You know me, You know me
As the summer air within my chest
I have breathed You deep down into my breast
And as You know the hairs upon my head
Every thought and every word I've said
Every thought and every word I've said
Savior, You have known me as I am
Healer, You have known me as I was
As I will be in the morning, in the evening
You have known me, yeah, You know me
Oh, and as the exhilaration of autumn's bite
Oh, You have brought these tired bones to brilliant life
And as the swallow knows, she knows the sky
This is how it is with You and I
Oh, this is how it is with You and I
Savior, You have known me as I am
Healer, You have known me as I was
As I will be in the morning, in the evening
You have known me, yeah, You know me
From the fall of my heart to the resurrection of my soul
You know me, God, and You know my ways
In my rising and my sitting down
You see me as I am, oh, see me as I am
And as a lover knows his beloved's heart
All the shapes and curves of her even in the dark
Oh, You have formed one in my inward parts
And You know me, You know me, yes
Savior, You, You have known me as I am
Oh, healer, You have known me as I was
As I will be in the morning, in the evening
You have known
You have known me, in the morning, in the evening
You've known me, God
In the morning, in the evening You have known me
Yeah, You've know me
You have always known me
You know me, God, You have known me
You have always known my heart”
