God Knows You

God Knows You

God knows you, loves you, and calls you to life

God knows you completely, and He calls you to come to Him - the One who gives healing and true life.

1. God Knows You Fully—and Still Loves You

David begins by confessing:

“O LORD, You have searched me and known me.”— Psalm 139:1

God knows your failures—but He also knows your potential. He knows your guilt—but He also knows the person He created you to become. He knows the sins that weigh on your conscience and the wounds that shaped your life.

“You discern my thoughts… You are acquainted with all my ways.”— Psalm 139:2–3

God sees every part of your story—yet His heart moves toward you, not away from you.

2. God's Presence Is Inescapable

David asks:

“Where shall I flee from Your presence?”— Psalm 139:7

Not because he wants to escape, but because he realizes God has never left him—not even when he wandered.

Even in the darkest places of your life, God was not absent.

“Even the darkness is not dark to You.”— Psalm 139:12

Where sin brought shame, God brought pursuit. Where life brought confusion, God brought mercy.

God has been near you even when you were far from Him.

3. God Made You, Knows Your Purpose, and Calls You to Himself

David continues:

“You knitted me together in my mother’s womb.”— Psalm 139:13

God created you intentionally. He wrote the story of your life with wisdom and love.

“In Your book were written… the days that were formed for me.”— Psalm 139:16

This means your life is not meant to drift without God. Your heart was created to walk with Him. Your soul was designed to know Him.

Repentance is not returning to religion— it is returning to the God who designed your life for Himself.

4. God’s Love Confronts Sin Because Sin Destroys Us

Psalm 139 does not shy away from the reality of sin. David acknowledges there is wickedness in the world—and in his own heart.

Sin separates us from God:

“Your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God.”— Isaiah 59:2

Sin damages our lives:

“The wages of sin is death.”— Romans 6:23

But God does not expose sin to shame you— He exposes it to save you.

Repentance is God calling you away from what destroys your soul and into the life He intended for you.

5. God Searches Our Hearts to Heal and Restore Us

David ends with a prayer every person is invited to pray:

“Search me, O God, and know my heart…
See if there be any grievous way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.”— Psalm 139:23–24

This is repentance in its purest form:

  • God, show me my sin.
  • God, heal what is broken.
  • God, lead me in Your way.

True repentance is not about trying harder— it is about letting God lead you into life.

TURN TO THE GOD WHO LOVES YOU

Because God knows you and sees you, He knows your deepest need: to be forgiven and made new.

And that is why He sent Jesus.

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son…”— John 3:16

Jesus came because you could not find your way back to God. He died and rose again to open the path of repentance and life.

Through Christ, forgiveness is not a possibility—it is a promise:

“Return to the LORD, that He may have compassion on you…
for He will abundantly pardon.”— Isaiah 55:7
“Repent… that your sins may be blotted out.”— Acts 3:19

God calls you to repentance because He loves you. He calls you to turn because He wants you to live.

Repentance is not punishment— it is the doorway to peace, joy, forgiveness, purpose, and eternal life.

A Compassionate Invitation to Respond

The God who knows you best is the One who loves you most.

And the God who formed you is the One who calls you to return.

If you sense that call, you can respond with a simple but honest prayer:

“Lord, search my heart. Show me my sin. Forgive me for going my own way. Lead me in Your way everlasting. I turn to You and place my trust in Jesus. Make me new.”

God will not turn away anyone who comes to Him. His call to repentance is His call to life.
