Exposed (Heb. 4:13)

"And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account." (Hebrews 4:13)

This is usually a pretty frightening verse to me. Nothing I do or don't do is kept from Almighty God. He sees everything. He knows my deepest thoughts and desires, the things that are so easily kept from everyone else.

And yet, He still loves.

He saw what I would be, but still sent Jesus to redeem, reclaim, renew. His love is not based on what I am, but on who He is. God is the only one who sees me for who I really am and did not stop in spite of all the ways He knew that I would hurt both Him and others. He still is glad to have called me His son, and there are no regrets.
