Organic, cotton dishcloths, three in a set of beautiful, warm, rich earthy colors (my fave!). What/'s that you say? Dishcloths?! Yes, dishcloths, organic dishcloths, in my favorite shades. I had to ponder why I was so moved by these, but it didn't take long for revelation to come.
It wasn't really the items that tickled me, but being known. Known in a way that knew I would appreciate each of the traits of this thoughtful gift. Organic, oh yes. Earthy, I'm a wanna be half-hippie (I'm not hip enough to go all the way). Practical because I love to attempt to live simply by doing things like washing dishes by hand while the dishwasher sits empty. It means that someone notices what makes me tick and even what might get my gander.
We all want it, but why? What drives us to want to be known? Dare I say, it's what we were created for? Yes! You were created to be known intimately by our Creator. He knows you whether you know Him or not for He shows no partiality. And He made you to be in communion, fellowship with one another. To bear one another's burdens. To be known is to be loved.
What is a special way that has been demonstrated to you that you were known, loved?
This is so true! I am a twin which only compounds the matter of wanting to be known for yourself. Maybe it's why blogs are so big???!! Reminding ourselves that it is better to be known by God than by the world might fill a huge part of that void. We did a homemade Christmas this year and saw this very concept in action in our family~ the need to know eachother to handcraft a gift. It was wonderful!
