“How do you know me?” Nathanael asked. “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you,” Jesus answered. – John 1:48
God sees you.
He sees you in the secret places, obscure places, sitting under the shadow of a fig tree, far from the watching gaze of anybody else.
He sees your secret battles, unacknowledged victories, acts of valor and courage that don’t register on the radars of those around you.
Before Philip called you from under the fig tree, before the spotlight, before the successes, before the trauma, before you were even formed in your mother’s womb, God saw you…and committed Himself to you.
When nobody else can see you (the real you), be encouraged by knowing that right now…God sees you.
