Signs of Life in the Midst of Death
God Only Knows

There’s a popular Christian song that kept coming on the radio all last wek, “God Only Knows” by For King and Country. It got me thinking about how truly, only God knows who we are, what we’ve been through, and where we’re going.
We only know part of it.
Sometimes life gives us a lesson in that. We might expect others to truly know and understand us fully, but no one can as well as God. Sometimes we don’t even know ourselves as well as God does.
No one will ever truly know our darkness and our life. Our sufferings and our joy. Our challenges and our strengths. Our sorrows and our yearnngs. Our trials and our triumphs.
No one, but the God who formed us in the womb, who knit our being, and who is with us each moment today and always.
God only knows.
