If you could just get to know me, you'd find that I'm different than at first expected. If you could just see my heart, you'd find that I'm someone worth getting to know. If you could just see me in those moments where I am absolutely ridiculous, you'd probably even find me funny. If you could just see who I really am, you'd like me. I know it.
...So I'm sure we've all thought these things at one point in our lives. So what is it that makes us feel this way? What compels us to think that if people spent time with us and truly got to know us, they would be the better for it? They would enjoy us... Is it our pride? Maybe...but somehow, I think there is something inside us all that draws others in.
You see, people were created to enjoy each other. In fact, I am sure there are people in your life now that you need to get to know. And I am confident that there is a God out there just waiting for you to get to know Him. Part of me wonders if God feels the same way we do. Do you think He is ever saying to us "Hey, I'm a lot cooler than you think" or "Trust me, you need to know me" or "I can guarantee once you really get to know me, you won't ever want to live without me." ...I think He does say these things to us. And you know what? I think He is waiting for us to take that step.
So do this for me today. Try to lay aside every preconcieved idea you have about God and other people, and really make an effort to get to know them...whatever it takes.
