I think it's often easy for me to forget that God is a God that knows me better than I know myself. Especially in times of discomfort/suffering, I push Him away from me because first, I don't think that He will understand what I'm going through since He is supposed to be this perfect God, and because second, I am ashamed to show Him the weak/sinful side of who I am. Whenever I struggle with exhibiting pride, I wonder how God would even come close to understanding. When I think of Jesus, he was the most powerful human of all time, yet he humbled himself to was the feet of the disciples. Seeing that, it's easy for me to forget that God understands me and what I'm going through even though he himself may not have exhibited these struggles.
In one of the bible verses pointed out in today's QT, it states in Hebrews 4:15 "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are - yet he did not sin."
It is comforting knowing that God knows who I am and the most intricate parts of my being. He knew me before I knew myself and will know me long after. It's funny to think that Jesus also went through similar temptations as us when he became a man on the Earth. It gives me hope to push forward relying on a non judgmental God that knows me and empathizes with my struggles.
