Because He Knows

You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. - Psalm 139:1

There was a story....

{"Emily was going to Singapore, and to start a job as a nurse. She's hoping that she would be able to better provide for her family, more than she could in Manila, Philippines, where job opportunities were limited. On the night before her departure, Emily gave instructions to her sister, who would be taking care of her five years old daughter while she was away.... Emily said, "She will take her vitamins if you also give her a spoonful of peanut butter." And, Emily explained, "And remember, she is shy. And, she is afraid of the dark..."

While she was looking out from the airplane window the next day, Emily prayed.. "Lord, no one knows my daughter like I do. I can't be with her, but You can."}

Well, we know about the people we love, and we aware all the details about them because they're precious to us. When we can't be with them due to various circumstances, we're often anxious or, feel so worried that since no one knows them as well as we do, and that they'll be more vulnerable to harm.

I think, to those people who believe, they'll know that deep inside their hearts, they can rely on God, and trust in the Lord that their loved ones will be always in our Father's loving hands 💗..

Then suddenly, I remember about the people who were, once I used to work with long time ago in the past!.. Well yes, they were my colleagues, as well as mothers....

And yes, they were nurses who came over a long way as far as from India, Indonesia and Philippines. And again, they were indeed foreign nurses who came into the country to work and earn income for their families whom they had left behind in their own countries. But, the thing was, most of them were young mothers. And, they had little kids, or young children back home in their respective countries, either staying with their husbands, parents, siblings, or any other family members. And, I believe that they entrusted these people whom they knew well into taking care of their children while they were away.

But, deep down in their hearts, they knew that no one would know their children well like they did, themselves. Thus, I agreed that only mothers would know and understand her children very well.., as to what my colleagues who also mothers always said.... And yes, there were times that, those mothers would still need to expressed their feelings of uncertainties, in between....😟😓.

Therefore, I think, it happened because everyone had their own feelings of fears, anxieties, and doubts. And because, we were all human beings and, we had feelings. And yes, those mothers had feelings too!

But, then again, when it comes to those people who believe in the Lord, we know that only He can faithfully provides and protects, and knows our needs in every single day of our lives. Well yes, you can still have worries, but you should not have to allow these feelings of uncertainties to take control over you in most of the times.

I think, it should be about something that we acknowledge and learn every time. And then, to understand and, eventually believe and reassure that "God knows." Or, "He knows better than I know." Or, "He knows best about myself."...🙏.

So, as to the young mothers who worked far away from their families.... I would like to let you know that God knows us more than anyone does. In the same way, He knows our loved ones intimately. He is their Creator. So, He understands their needs. He knows what will happen each day of their lives, and He is with them and will never leave them.

And, I know it can be also about your parents, your brothers and sisters, your grandparents, your nieces and nephews, your uncles and aunties.... And, when you're anxious for them and, although you can't always be with those you love, entrust them to God loving care, for He knows them the best and loves them the most!

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. - 1 Peter 5:7
