"Where You Are - Part 2"

"For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly".  John 4:18

Yesterday we talked about how God knows where you are.  He knew where Adam was but asked him anyway because He wanted him to "own up" to what he had done.  He also wanted to give Adam his solution to his sin.

This morning I want to talk more about where you are internally.  God not only knows where you are physically but He knows where you are "inside".  Nothing is hid from Him.  He is the All-Seeing, All-Knowing God.  There is no place where you can go, no state of mind, no emotional place, no secret place and no dark place that He does not see you.  (Psalm 139)

When Jesus encountered the woman at the well, He knew just where she was.  He knew she was discontent.  He knew she was searching.  He knew she was rejected.  He knew she had issues with relationships.  He knew she was looking for love but could not find it.  He knew "all" about her.  

He knows all about you.  He knows where you are.  He knows you are hurting.  He knows you are grieving.  He knows you are feeling rejected.  He knows you are feeling empty.  He knows you are not satisfied.  He knows you are in pain, fearful, angry, feeling abandoned, betrayed, condemned and lonely.  He knows you are desirous of more.  He knows you want to feel fulfilled, want to spread your wings, and want to move on.  He knows where you are. 

Take comfort in that fact.  But don't only take comfort, do what we talked about yesterday-- own up to what you are feeling and where you are.  Let Him give you your solution.  This woman talked with Jesus and received what He was offering-- her answer.  She left His presence forever changed.  Talk to the Lord about where you are.  Let Him forever change you.

Have a great day.  He knows where you are internally.
