knowing

Talking to Ron tonight, and he talked about it felt when someone completely knew you. He said people desired to be known completely and loved, and often the two go hand in hand. If you don't completely know someone, how do you know you love them...and if you love someone, how can you be sure if you don't completely know them?

Now, the word "completely" can mean anything from like...everything about you there is to know, but I'll prefer to think of it as things you try to hide from people. Sometimes I sit around and some of the most embarrassing things I've ever done in my life just flash into my mind, consecutively. If someone knew all those moments. Or how I am when I wake up, when you actually live with me, my bad habits, etc etc.

Because I feel like we're always trying to sell our self, to present our best side to people for....approval? I don't want to use that word because it sounds so selfish. Obviously you won't share the worst things about yourself upon meeting someone...it's just how things are.

But for someone to completely know you and love you...

I suppose that's one of the reasons why a relationship with Jesus is so rewarding.
