The SEEN Life: Moving from Hidden to Healed

"Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."- Psalm 139:23-24 (KJV)

In the depths of our hearts lie chambers we'd rather keep locked. We carry fears that paralyze, shame that silences, expectations that disappoint, and needs that go unmet. Yet God calls us to live a SEEN life: one where nothing remains hidden from His loving gaze or our own honest reflection.

What am I SCARED of? Fear has a way of whispering lies in the darkness, convincing us that we're not strong enough, smart enough, or worthy enough. But the psalmist knew that when we bring our fears into God's light, He meets us there. "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 27:1). Your fears lose their power when you name them before the One who has already conquered them.

What am I EMBARRASSED about? Shame thrives in secrecy, but it withers in the presence of grace. Those moments that make us want to hide, our failures, our weaknesses, our past mistakes, are the very places where God's mercy shines brightest. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). What embarrasses you today can become tomorrow's testimony of God's redemptive power.

What am I EXPECTING? Sometimes we build castles in the air with our expectations, only to watch them crumble when reality doesn't match our dreams. Unrealistic expectations breed disappointment, while unrealized ones create bitterness. But when we surrender our expectations to God's will, we find something better than what we imagined. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord" (Isaiah 55:8). His plans surpass our expectations every time.

What do I NEED? Beneath our wants lie our true needs, for love, acceptance, purpose, and peace. Often we seek these in places that cannot satisfy, but God knows our deepest needs before we even voice them. "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19). When you identify what you truly need, you can bring those needs to the One who is able to meet them abundantly.

Living SEEN means choosing vulnerability over hiding, truth over pretense, and faith over fear. It means allowing God to search the hidden places of your heart and trusting that what He finds there, He can heal and transform. When you dare to be fully known, by God and by trusted others, you discover that you are fully loved, not despite your struggles, but through them.

Today, invite God into every corner of your heart. Let Him see what scares you, what shames you, what you're hoping for, and what you need. In His presence, you'll find that being SEEN is not something to fear, but something to embrace. For in His eyes, you are precious, chosen, and deeply loved.
