All of us want to know that our words and work and lives matter. It’s a primal human need to want to be heard and seen and known, but how often do we experience that reality? Though we have heard that God counts the numbers of hairs on our heads, and that his eye is on the sparrow, really knowing that reality as true, feeling the weight of the presence and the eye and the friendship of God for ourselves is something that can change everything. Indeed, maybe it’s the only thing that can.
This week on the Raised Catholic podcast, I’ll tell two stories that helped me to remember that the stunning reality of being seen by God is actually true, and it’s something we can experience for ourselves.
Listen to ep. 159: You Are Seen at the Raised Catholic podcast on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts (or read the transcript), and let’s talk in the comments about a time when you felt the loving gaze of God for yourself. You know I love to hear your faith stories, and sharing them in community has the added benefit of helping all of us to grow in faith. See you there.
