Only God and My Spirit Know My Thoughts

1 Corinthians 2:11a "For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him?"

      Lord, the only other one who knows my deepest or true thoughts other than me is You.  You know the thoughts and intents of my heart, and You have searched me and known me (Psalm 139:1)  Others see only what I choose to share with them.  I may be frustrated with someone, but show them grace and kindness because You have told me to do so.  They may never know how frustrated I was with them.  I may be impatient or afraid, but show patience and courage on the outside.  At times, Lord, we all wear that mask to protect ourselves or others, or sadly to promote ourselves using flattery.  We are afraid to be real.  But You know what's inside...the evil and the good.
      You, Lord, give us the freedom to be real.  Because You KNOW me, there is no escaping my sin, but also there is a comfort of knowing that You know and understand my deep love for, and trust in, You.  Most of my deepest thoughts are about You as I try to wrap my human brain around You and Your ways.  Just Your love for me and willingness to sacrifice Yourself for me is too high for me to understand.  But Your ways are not man's ways and Your thoughts are not our thoughts.  So, I can accept what I don't understand and walk in trust with You.
      Thank You, Lord!
