Only God knows every version of you
The speaker observes that no human relationship spans a person's entire life. Parents do not see old age, partners never knew childhood, children never remember youth; each person knows only a fragment. Only two are present for every version of you: yourself and God.
You are there because you have no choice; God is there because He chose to be. He was present with the child who cried alone, the teenager who smiled but felt empty, the adult lying awake with worry, and He knew you even before that, as Scripture says: before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Yet God is often the one we live for last. We give our time to everyone and everything else, and to Him we give whatever remains at day's end.
We forget Him when things go well and run to Him only when they fall apart. But He never left, not for a single day. The speaker urges talking to God and opening your heart to Him, because He is the only one who has been with you from the very beginning and the only one who will be with you until the very end.
Key moments
- Your parents won't see you grow old, your partner never knew you as a child, your children will never remember you young; everyone in your life will only know a piece of you, and nobody will ever know all of you.
- Only two will be there for every version of you: you and God.
- You are there because you have no choice; He is there because He chose to be.
- He was there with the little child who cried alone in his room when nobody was looking, with the teenager who smiled in front of everyone but felt empty inside, and with the adult who lies awake at night worrying about tomorrow, and He knew you even before all of that.
- As Scripture says, before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.
- Yet He is the one we live for last: we give all our time to everyone and everything else, and to Him we give whatever is left at the end of the day.
- We forget Him when things are good and only run to Him when things fall apart.
- But He never left you, not for one single day, so talk to Him and open your heart to Him because He is the only one who has been with you from the very beginning and the only one who will be with you until the very end.
