206. He Sees You, Even When No One Else Does

Luke 13:12

Do you ever feel completely overlooked? Do you ever feel as though your friends get massive amounts of love and attention for things that never even get you noticed? I know that none of us would really want to admit this kind of thing out loud because we would feel silly, dramatic or even immature, but have you ever thought that nobody really cares if you’re around? I mean, we all have those friends that everyone wants to know and everyone wants to talk like and dress like, right? We all know those people, but we’re not really those people, are we? But hold on just a second. What if there’s someone who totally sees you? What if there’s someone who thinks you are infinitely fascinating? What if there’s someone who thinks you have measureless worth? What if there’s someone who thinks you are a priceless treasure and even when no one else notices, this someone always sees you? What if this someone who sees you is The Someone? What if The Someone who sees you is the One who made you and loves you more than anyone? Guess what -- He is. Jesus always sees the people that no one else notices, and He loves them! Jesus saw a woman at a well everyone else avoided. Jesus saw a man up a tree everyone else hated. Jesus saw a woman in a crowd who had been bent over double for 18 years! Jesus sees past cool. He looks right through pretty. Jesus peers all the way down into the mind and heart. Jesus sees you. He sees the real you and here’s the really awesome thing: He loves you. He sees and loves you. Really.
