Our greatest need is connection, to be known, to be seen. But most of us are not brave enough. We have too much to hide. Too much shame. Too much fear. But we have a Father who does see us. He knows us completely. Even our shame. And he chose to love us. He is faithful to it. He wants you to know it's safe to love him back. He forgives you. He completes you. He fills you with joy and wonder. He has given you purpose. That purpose is love. Here are a few scraps of thought so you can "see" me.

A God Thing
Take a moment to consider how God wants to reveal himself to you in every aspect of your life. Are you willing to trust him?

Hello, I Like exodus it might be my favorite book but im not sure I think its like Joshua or somthing. I meet your neighbor hes kinda scarey. Its weird that Pharoah was evil and killed all the boys but his own daughter wasn't bad and had commpassion on Moses. I find that intresting
Trust is the main thing god wants from us, but we have to learn trust in order to give trust; some of us dont know waht trust is, but we have to teach them what it does mean to trust.
We should trust God and have more faith in Him,because it dosen't matter what we are facing, if we pray for a solution he will show it ti us, being the God that will alway take care of us.
Isn't it amazing how God did that? I'm pretty sure that Moses' mother had no idea that she would end up caring for her baby, never mind getting paid for it. It's pretty awesome.
Yes, to be able to trust God is one thing. But i think that the big part of it is really letting go. We often ask God to take control of a situation, and the minute after, we turn around and continue the same route we were going with the same load on our shoulders, continuing to worrying about that same situation.

not many people remember Moses' mother when we hear this story and think of her part in it...

I wish I could trust God like she did. Three thumbs up for Moses's Mom. Shes awesome. :D
We should learn to trust God more...I know sometimes the only time people turn to God is when they have no other choice.

I also agree that we should trust God even if for some people they just don't trust people very easily they should still trust God.
We should thrust in God like Moses mother.If everybody had faith in God it would be good.
