Undone & Raw In The Presence of God

So lately I've thought about God and how He wants us to be personal. Sure He knows us already, I mean He knit us together, you see I do not knit, and probably never will. But I know that it takes skill to knit. So you know your string or human insides by the end of your finished work.  So it's funny because He knit us together but He gets to see the finished work in our lives and see how all of that works out.  He knows everything we do, feel, ache for, long for. But He wants us to tell Him. Our God is personal and just like even though you knew you got an A on your paper you still want to see the paper and read the comments and such.  God likes to hear our commentary as we go through life.  I'm sure sometimes He would rather not, just kidding, God loves us even in those weak moments. Where we are about to jump into something fast, when we jump into something without even consulting God, when you give up on something because it was hard at one moment.  God is smart and can get our attention whether it's through a "End of The World on May 21" or even a tornado.  He can even pick us up and turn us around.  But what is hilarious, and sometimes I enjoy, but sometimes don't is He lets us choose. That is the craziest thing ever. But I love my God.  So I want to encourage you along with remind myself and be raw with God through family crisis', friends, boys, siblings, whatever else you are struggling with. Be raw and open with God, it is hard, but pride comes before the fall, so you might as well let go of your pride so you don't fall. I know it's hard and sometimes we think we know best, but God knows best and waits for us to beckon Him.  He is waiting for us every single second of the day. One word He will be there. He grants us a book of wisdom along with life experiences and His voice and Spirit to guide us.  God is what you need right now in whatever moment you are in.  He is what makes you, your new creation.  Remember this, being undone and raw, it may hurt, be embarrassing, make you laugh as you tell God something He knows. But let me tell you it helps you along with building a relationship with God :)
